Hi all.
Woke up this morning to find my juvenile Yellow Coris Wrasse dead. No photos as the CUC didn't leave much behind. Two days ago, I noticed very faint white patches on her side (only visible under blue light), similar to the below threads:
I thought it might be from diving into the sand at night to sleep. Can't tell if it was an injury as I've never seen her get spooked. She seemed perfectly healthy, eating (fed 2-3x per day) and hunting pods all day. No flashing, yawning, or any sort lethargy. I considered the possibility of flukes, but with no symptoms, I didn't want to perform a FW dip unless necessary. Should I have done a FW dip? Pretty bummed to lose this fish as it was one of my favorites. I have a pair of clowns in the tank who show no signs of any sickness (no patches). Moving forward, what should I do? I quarantine/observe anything wet going into in my tank and alternate between feeding frozen and pellet, soaking in selcon every few days. I have a QT tank available and can dose Prazipro but don't want to stress the remaining fish any more than I have to. Any advice is much appreciated.
