Emergency Clowns Dying!

[adam.crouch]

I haded some zoas to my tank and 2 purpel mushrooms. the mushrooms have given of loads of long threads and have disintergrates. The clowns were acting like a PH crash, out of breath etc
there now in fresh water

What could be wrong. can mushrooms give off a toxic chemical when they die??

Whats the best way to get rid of white spot??

I've got mixed emotions on coral banded shrimp (CBS). I dont own one so my oppinions only come from what I've read. Some people love them, others say they get territorial towards just about anything (corals included) in their old age...

Do you suspect any of your fish have ich currently ore are you just trying to be prepared?

if you have a quarantine tank then a copoer based treatment is best. NEVER EVER use a copper based treaatment in a tank with invertabrates. I think that you should go to your lfs and look for white spot stuff that is invert safe

Could you try a dip in freshwater and see if the osmotic pressure differences might just kill the whitespot?

If it's This stuff then it states safe for inverts. Could be worth looking for a coshh sheet for it. That should tell you exactly whats in it.
