    Three days ago all was well in fish land. Then I added a rock Nem.... one of.my clowns went missing. So I was like gret what next. The rock nem then kept attachein then kind of jump of rock face first in sand mouth wide open. So I move it and move it same result. So today I get home other clown looks like it has been in a flour bath. And only swimming with one fin. Wont eat. Other two fish seem a okay. There a flame cardinal and a zebra damesel .. so on way to lfs with the nem and clown. Took less then a min to catch clown so that can't be good. He said he will dip them both or quarantine them for me and give me a free 10 gallon change of water. What a day in the life of a 3 reefer lol

    how big is your tank?
    How old is your tank?
    and what are your parameters in your tank?

    Looks to me as if the anemone was dying and thus releasing the toxins into the water which could be the culprit for your losses.

    Water seems fine in lfs they just checked there going to hold the rock nem until tommarow and see what happens.
    Clown is in some stuff I think a copper bath he will be out soon and home.

    This is what I think happened. I had recently got a gbta clowns started hosting. Bigger clown won. So smaller clown started hosting my green goni. Then I added the rock nem. I think the small clown went over and got took. And thus making the nem sick it starts acting weird. Then makes other clown sick with toxins. Or am I crazy. Like I said flame cardinal seems fine as well as the zebra damsel ..
