Chromis acting weird

[markymark]

I need an opinion

short story fist, I purchased two green chromis to feed to my anemone, at my dismay one of them got loose and he is now a local denizen to my reef tank :), so I bought him a friend bc i know he is schooling fish; also present are some anthias, but the new fish is blind or something bc it responds to no stimuli just remains swimming alone in odd parts of my tank. Any ideas?

Water Chem is perfect no nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, ph is 8.5
calcium is around 500 akly is normal

and other fish are fine and no odd behavior.

feeding chromis sounds like a waste really. They are nice fish in schools

oh and I never feed my fish live food do to dangers of parasites and dangerous contagious diseases.

This is true but same thing with products you buy etc silver sides, plus to me its more natural for the anemone.

I had 3 chromis.... now I have 2...the smallest one never really took to swimming with the other 2 too much...he even got sucked into the sump for 2 weeks...I didn't know he was in there :shock: Lots of people here will tell you that they'll buy a small school, and in the end, they end up with 1 or 2 left...they are peaceful, just not towards each other.

yea, its just odd it responds to nothing has no fear of my hand or anything just swims in the same spot. just plain odd

He may be partially paralyzed from the sting of the anemone, and/or have some sort brain damage from it.
