    Seahorse shedding grey skin

    Please Help
    I have a marine tank with a fire shrimp, two seahorses & two clown fish.
    In the last 24 hrs I've noticed a worrying grey patchiness on the larger seahorse which is shedding & flakey.
    The seahorse has also become restful.
    I'm very concerned.
    Any Advise would be very much appreciated.
    Thanks

    WELCOME TO REEFLAND!

    Although I don't dislike seahorses, I'm really not all that familiar with them. If someone else doesn't respond to your question, you should search the Internet for a seahorse site. There are whole websites and forums devoted to seahorse husbandry.

    Good luck!

    Hi Susan!

    Welcome to Reefland!

    Your best bet would be to check over at http://forum.seahorse.org/ for assistance. They could recommend meds and treatment that might help. I have to tell you, it does not sound promising, especially if the grey patchy area resembles webbing.

    Best of Luck!
