disease id

I have a clownfish pair, and the male has the skin on only the left side of his body peeling. It is near his tail at the end of his body, and white. He behaves normally and still has a normal appetite, what could this be and how do I treat? There’s no other fish apart from the 2 clowns and no...

Hi all, my clownfish has begun showing these spots/holes/lesions around his head and gills. he is not new to the tank (30 gal mixed reef), and has lived here for maybe 6-8 months. he is still extremely lively and is eating very well. his tank mates do not exhibit any symptoms. i’m not sure...

My starry blenny been doing fine until recently I noticed he's been hiding more than usual but still eating. Then last night I saw he had a pale belly area and looks like his ribs is showing. Could this be internal parasite or just normal ? TIA

Please can anyone help me identify what this white patch is on my kole tang? Its acting normal, not stressing out and still eating so dont know what its is. Seems to have gotten bigger since yesterday.

I have been having some issues regarding the flame angelfish, there were some unidentifiable white spots all over him which i assumed to be ich, it hadn't been spreading to anyone else at the time and he was still energetic and eating like a champ. I was running UV and adding...

I saw these white spots on my bristletooth tang 2 nights, ago. Today was the first opportunity I had to get a good video. Does this look like ich or Velvet? The spots haven't spread and behavior remains normal aside from the spots, he's eating like a pig and swimming normally. Any opinions would...

I came home today and Saw that my Clownfish was not as active as normal so when I went over to double check I saw that it has a giant grey streak on its body and seems to not be well. I have had them for only about 3 months now. I have no clue what this is or how concerned I should be. Right now...

I just got home today and noticed that one of my clownfish was towards the ground then I saw the giant white ish streak on it and am unsure of what it is or what to do. I have had them for around 3 months now and this is the first time I have ever seen this happen. Can someone please tell me...

Wondering if anyone can help diagnose what disease my fish are displaying. I think it started when I added a Kole tang to my DT. It died within a couple of days then several days later a royal gramma died. Soon after a sleeper banded goby showed some symptoms (first fish I was able to notice...

Hey guys, I bought this orchid dottyback a few days ago from my local Petco. The following morning I noticed this subtle white patch on it, and I'm not sure what it is. Did the dottyback scrape itself against some rock while trying to hide? It doesn't seem to have the salty look of ick, and I...

Hello been having this angle for about 3 weeks, he had no signs of infection besides the ick. I dipped him in hydroplex for 10 minutes and tossed him in my tank. I’ve been dosing rally pro to help mitigate the ick and grounded ginger which has helped. However a new infection has arrived being on...

Hi community, The fish seems happy and swims everywhere, but this patch seems to get worse? I thought it would be a sting from the anemone! Tube, maybe it is. I did bring the anemone to the store for a better home, as it was taking over my tank. Is this a parasite? And is it curable?

Hi! I’m new to the reefing hobby as of about 5 months ago. I have a RedSea Nano G2 Peninsula (26 gallon tank). I’ve heard about Ich, and know it can affect the whole tank if I’m not careful. My current inhabitants are: 2 Clownfish, One Diamond Goby, One BlueSpotted Jawfish, and an Orchid...

The bumps are fairly large and round, and they are only on the clownfish’s fin, and not on the other clown. Background info: this is a fairly stable tank, it’s about a year old now and the last addition of fish was over 8 months ago. I added a skunk cleaner a month ago, and I did a waterchange...

Good afternoon all, This is my first time posting to hear but I’ve used this website as a resource for the past 2yrs and I really appreciate all the help I get from people posting. Now I’m finally posting my own question and I'm hoping someone can help me out with some advice I have a 40...

Hello everyone! One of my clownfish has a big discoloration on one side of his body, mainly. Besides the obvious sign of disease on his skin, he eats and behaves normally. Can anyone identify this disease? I have 29 more clowns on this tank. Treatment suggestion for this one or for the entire...

I got this filefish 1 week ago and was not able to do QT. Fish seems fine but I have noticed these white specs on the fins. Other fish in the tank (starry blenny, 2 clowns) seem fine with no spots. Fish seems to be eating and swimming about with seemingly normal behavior. Any suggestions on how...

Hello, I’ve had this pygmy yellowtail angel fish for 3 days now. The first two days they kept to themselves for the most part. On day one when I brought them back home I noticed they had some frayed fins and a small ulceration on their side that disappeared by the next day. On day 2 I noticed...

Hey, I had a clownfish die yesterday and had it ID and most said that most likely the other one killed it but now the second one has marks and spots. Is it maybe ich? Treatments?

Happy Holidays fellow reefers!! Woke up and noticed my blenny has what look like tiny eggs/balls along his lowers fin. He doesn't seem stressed and neither do the other fish. I was thinking ich but not sure. Never had an issue before. Any help would be appreciated

Unsure if it's ich? I placed him in qt and dosed rally reef pro while I get help from you guys. Thank you.

I recently got a new clownfish. I’ve had this one for about a month and a half now. It is apart of a pair that I bought locally. When I first purchased the clown it had one red spot under the chin, but it looked like an injury. I thought that it could have been apart of fighting even though I...

Hi all, hoping you can help me with my two clownfish. I got them about 6 weeks ago as the first two fish in my tank. I got the tank from someone who had the tank up and running for years. About 3 weeks ago, the darker clown started showing signs of white stuff on his lips. I thought it was from...

White spot on my purple tang and swimming a little eradic, I’m thinking ich. See the YouTube video link if video attachment doesn’t work on r2r. Thoughts? If it is, I’m thinking of bringing my entire DT down to 1.009 for hyposalinity treatment and removing coral and inverts. Reason being is...

I visited my dad and saw that his blue tang in his fish tank looked sick. It looked to me like it could be marine velvet but there was also just a general deceleration of the fish and didn’t know if there was another issue with it. I advised him to take it out of the tank to keep the other fish...
