Male percula clownfish not doing so well. need advice?

Question

i have 2 percula clown fish paired up. it took a while for the female to accept the male, but i think they are getting along now. the male swims around the tank, while the female stays in the anemone. at night they both sleep in the anemone.

However i noticed what looks like the male's slime coat was damaged during the time the female was getting used to him and *love biting* him. i want to quarantine him and give him some stress coat, but i don't know how the female would take it? should i quarantine both of them and the anemone? i have a 5 gallon tank for a quarantine tank.

Answer 1

Yes, you should definitely put them in a seperated tank and treat with medicine.

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

if all you want to "treat" them with is stress coat.. add it directly to the tank

you may notice the nem getting a few jets of slime comming off him.. but it's not harmful

just let your skimmer work, or do a few big waterchanges
