Ah Beng's have this... yellow stripe clingfish. Anyone has experience with this?

Yup... I bought 1 from Irwarna a couple of months ago I mistook it for a pipefish..

Saw it clinging to the side silicone of my tank on day 1... have not seen it since.

Probably starved to death as it is supposed to be a finicky feeder & may even only feed on sea urchins.

Actually bought this many months ago to treat my Arrowana..

Tried 1 treatment on a Zoa frag last night.. not much effect so far..

A pod also survived the 20min dip (as it only affects fungi & bacteria I think)

You should'nt add to your tank, it will kill all the nitrifying bacteria and may end up with ammonia spike..

i heard from someone in RC also claiming it onli attacks the bacteria and will kill all good or bad bacteria.

that is why they act. sugest after dipping the zoas in a seperate container, rinse the zoas in another pail with ur tank water then put into the tank, thats better more safe too.

[ambystoma82]

i duno y after i dose furan 2 in my tank

the skimmer skim lesser thing lehz..

but its ok mah if can reset all e bad n good bacteria in ur tank for e sake of killin e zoa pox..

nitrfiying bacterias r available in tablets also.. lol..

kills liao then add new bacteria loh..

tml b trying to dose e vit C liao...

go should look out for visible stuff like is e zoas stem area cleaner?

or whether e poylps open when normally close ?
