Health & readinessExisting monitoring guidance and preparation
Monitoring prompts, not diagnoses. Seek qualified help for severe, fast-moving or uncertain symptoms.
Marine ich
White spots, scratching, rapid breathing, hiding or reduced appetite.
What to check
Confirm in a quarantine setting and seek a marine-safe treatment plan; do not medicate a display reef blindly.
Environmental stress
Hiding, faded colour, clamped fins, glass surfing, rapid breathing or appetite loss.
What to check
Test water, review temperature and tank mates, reduce disturbance and correct problems gradually.
Before bringing an organism home, review its adult space, social needs, food provision, water conditions and the existing inhabitants. Unassessed details still need confirmation.
