Is it ich? or something else?
I bought a Goldrim tang nearly two weeks ago. After a few days, two spots appeared on his head but it wasn't really white more like a translucent raised bump. I know these guys are ich magnets so I thought it best to keep my eyes on him. I don't have much experience with diseases other than lymphocystis, my angel fish and most of my butterflies had lymphocystis before. Yesterday morning I noticed several white spots on my Purple tang and by the afternoon white spots also appeared on my juvenile French angelfish. All the spots looked slightly raised. What is weird is that by the afternoon most of the spots were gone from the Purple tang and by the morning both fishes had no more white spots.
Is that normal for ich to appear and drop that quickly? Or is it something else? I started using Polyplab reefsafe medic, I know it's only peroxide but I thought I would give it a try. Water parameters are good. Unfortunately, my UV sterilizer stopped working 2 days ago. That's my luck, a new bulb is on the way.
