I however did find this online

There you go. I believe people use cipro to treat some of the tougher to keep anemones like true carpets and Ritteri, with pretty good success.

It?s unlikely you will find any antibiotics in stock anywhere, if you do let me know. I also would like to stock up. Prior to last month you could get almost any kind of antibiotic from many websites such as chewys without a prescription. Then on nov 30, 2023 the fda sent out formal warning letters to all the companies they found that was selling them. Now they are no where to be found. I think it is sad because the hobby was really beginning to learn how to resolve coral mortality issues that plagued us for the last couple decades. Now all that learning thorough experimentation has haulted when it just was getting going.  https://www.fda.gov/inspections-compliance-enforcement-and-criminal-investigations/warning-letters/chewy-inc-664707-11302023
