your nutrients go up, these seem to proliferate. you keep your nutrients low, parameters good and they seem to stay in check. at least what i have...
Ok, i'll take the bait. If it is parasites or disease, swapping out that clown for new fish isn't going to do one iota of good.
Do you need to do anything? Why not leave that clown in the tank and let things progress for a while. Everything in this hobby takes time.
of course there area always exceptions, but the general rule is it is tough to keep dragonet's that won't accept prepared foods
I would ditch the sand. You will stir up all kinds of nasties when you move it. Better to dump it and get new (with a cup of seedings) or go no...

My most successful move, I have done quite a few, was moving a bare bottom reef tank. Lost a couple of SPS but everything else came through with...
If you are doing a move of an established tank that will get the sand bed disturbed I have found to just ditch that old sand. You could rinse and re...
yeah, my leathers do best in the corners on the bottom of the tank, as far away from the LED's as possible.
the side panels on your stand should not be supporting anything. they are screwed to the frame. pop off one panel and put whatever size tank you...
