I was watching my recently adquired pair of juvenile Clown Fish when I noticed one of them went picking at a green-blue Zoanthid species I collected from the Caribbean Ocean.

I went out of the room for maybe 30 minutes to find that Clown Fish having seizures-like behaviour. The fish was somewhat "curving" and having erratic swimming patterns. It died within minutes, probably one hour after I saw it picking the Zoanthids.

The other Clown Fish is doing well, as is the Mandarin Dragonet.

Is it possible that the Zoanthid species toxins killed the Clown Fish? I know sudden/unexplained death happen in this hobby. This pair was still in quarantine (in the Main Tank since they are the first inhabitants). What are your thoughts?
