There are many other parasites that attack the gills and quickly cause death. Marine ich can also attack the gills first without the typical white spots. That is why qt and treatment are so important.

If you didn't see the white spots on it, and it started to die, then it may not have been ich. If you just barely got it, it may have been stress of transportation and switching tanks so often that was just too much for it. It does happen that fish die shortly after you buy them even though you do everything right. ]]> Sat, 12 Jan 2013 02:14:12 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500602&title=need-help-tonight#500602 <![CDATA[NEED HELP TONIGHT : I knew I should have kept him...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500600&title=need-help-tonight#500600 Author: Inthenameofweez

I knew I should have kept him out. Before going to bed, I glanced around the tank and noticed my crabs having an enormous party under one of my rock formations. 

They were feasting on the Goby... 
I wonder if that's a good thing though. Perhaps they ate most of the pests along with him? Who knows.

Either way, I really wanted to have 2 Engineers in the tank. I'll have to get another and see if I have any better luck. Perhaps a future QT is in order just in case I see some symptoms...

I had fought ich before an as other have said I would put him back in the tank and start to treat him. Start with a better nutrion such as adding garlic. Also a uv sterilizer will help. And you could try ick attack (reef safe)]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 23:36:56 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500595&title=need-help-tonight#500595 <![CDATA[NEED HELP TONIGHT : That is what I would do too at...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500589&title=need-help-tonight#500589 Author: DMower

That is what I would do too at this point.  PM sent if you need my help later.  Best of Luck to you.]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:35:36 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500589&title=need-help-tonight#500589 <![CDATA[NEED HELP TONIGHT : DMower, thank you very much for...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500588&title=need-help-tonight#500588 Author: Inthenameofweez

DMower, thank you very much for the offer. I have placed him back into the tank for tonight. If there is no sign of improvement in the next 2 days, I would love to bring him over. I do not have a quarantine tank, and that was my main reason for making this thread. 

I do appreciate the offer. Would you mind sending me a text with your address in case I do decide to come down tomorrow or Sunday?

Honestly I would watch him for a couple days. you have already introduced him to your tank so if it is ich he will start showing spots then you confirm it. if it is ich your tank has it already. If it is not ich then it is stress and he will either get better or die off.  Just my honest opinion....]]> Fri, 11 Jan 2013 22:27:25 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500587&title=need-help-tonight#500587 <![CDATA[NEED HELP TONIGHT : It might have been a little much...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61359&PID=500586&title=need-help-tonight#500586 Author: ClownFishAddict

It might have been a little much for him. I would just return him and leave the lights off. maybe throw in some mysis for him.

Two choices:  #1 Leave it alone, lights off, proper food, etc.  Low Stress.
                       #2 Take it out and place it in quarantine.
If it has ICH the entire tank is most likely infected.  You have already received advice on what to do about that.

I have a 55 gal quarantine/hospital tank with Cupramine (copper treatment) running in it right now if you want to bring him down to Kaysville.
