Stupid, Stupid, Stupid!
Oh, I can't believe I did this. Treated my tank with Rid Ich because it said saltwater safe....well, its not INVERT SAFE! I had to do a quick WC, well, two of them. Everything seems to be coming back to normal. The anenome looked the worst, but he did take food, what a little hog...even in distress, he'll eat. Went and picked up the proper meds. Hope this helps, as I don't want to do that 28 day thing if I can help it. Oooooh, so mad at myself.

isnt the main ingridient in rid-ich formalin? A heavy dose of formaldahyde in the tank is no good.
I think the stuff you wanted was called "kick-ich" a product that claims to be invert-safe.

Yep, I got it. Treated with that after the major WC. See? That's what I get for moving ahead without advice from TRT.  |

would prolly be a good idea to run some carbon, and if you already have it, change it as soon as possible to remove whatever it may have already adsorbed.
prolly wouldn't hurt to change all your filtration media now as well.

Well, everything seems to be responding very well the the water change. Anemone is huge again, and flowing happily in the current. Woah, that was a close one.

WOW! I think I'd quarantine the inverts with some freshly mixed water untill I was certain the display was safe again. Good luck.
