Clownfish looks like it's dying in my anemone

[andrewttw]

My clownfish is breathing very heavily whilst inside my anemone. One of them already died. Is the anemone's sting too strong??

Did you check for parasites. Examine the dead clown for wounds.. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I used to autopsy my discus when they die to find out the cause.

Bro... Sounds like clownfish disease - Brooklynella... Very common among clownfish.

From the pic difficult to tell ,If your clown is cover by a white slim..probably brooklynella...can use copper to treat but make sure you can catch him our and put to a quarantine tank to treat otherwise all your coral live rock will die inside.because of copper ..

Anemone doesn't affect clown fish they are use to them..

Cheers

Sometimes cannot see the slim b'coz it may only clog the gills but definitely they'll breath heavily when they have Brooklynella...

Sigh... Another kind of disease? Sian.... RIP

Not true. If the clownfish is weak, it will lose the protective coating that prevents the anemone stings from hurting it.

Please do not give incorrect advice.

For Brooklynella, it is possible to treat it by just FW dip? Also it a water change for the tank necessary?

I never have any success with FW dip. I normally use paraguard by seachem
