I lost all of my SW fish to disease about 4 weeks ago, I am finally restocking the fish. I even lost my prized cleaner wrasse that was eating well. I went to work with a healthy tank. I came home with all of my fish covered in marine ich (I think). The wrasse was dead, the Coral Beauty was covered, and the clownfish was diseased too. The Coral Beauty died soon after. I FW dipped the clownfish, she lived for three more days before she bit it too.

Well, I have never been one to be discouraged, and I recently started restocking my tank. All the inverts made it through fine. I added an Arrow Crab. I got a true Percula, he started off rough and wasn't eating, but is doing great now. I rescued my green banded goby from the bottom of our empty lfs sink. Everything is again going great, lets hope it stays that way. I also got some shots of my free live rock hitchikers. I have a ton of tiny snails, some brittle stars, both of which got photographed, some copepods, and possibly a very small mantis shrimp, I am hoping it isn't, I only saw it for a couple seconds.

Wish me luck, I am hoping things go better this time.

It's a 20. Protein Skimmer, Skilter 400, 20lbs of live rock, aragonite live substrate.
 
You really should use a qt tank, to avoid losing all your fish. If you do have a mantis, it may eat your goby.
 
little star fish lol

My tank is the size of a quaratine tank. I will have one when I move, but for now, I have to risk it. The new fish are doing well. I picked up another Coral Beauty Angel, it's been fine for a week now.
 
I haven't been able to locate the creature that looks like a Mantis. I understand the kill hermit crabs, and I haven't seen any deaths, so hopefully I am good.
