disease id

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...

My tank is only about 2 months old. Added a Naso about a week and a half ago. He never really seemed right. He’s eating still but been very picky. He also hides a lot, but the last 2 day has come to the glass more. He’s had white stress spots on him ever since I got him, figured they’d go away...

Have a pair of B/W clownfish in QT after noticing some discolouration on the female and head shaking behaviour from the male. I suspected flukes, brook also crossed my mind, however the discolouration was very mild and did not appear to be similar to the mucous seen in brook. I treated with a...

I observed several discolored patches on one of my clowns with white spots in the center of each patch. The white spots appear raised. It doesn’t look like ich so I am trying to determine what this is. This is my male and he does get roughed up by the female occasionally (the reason for his...

Hi Can anyone ID the disease on my neon goby that's appeared all of a sudden? Is it white spot? None of my other fish are showing any symptoms

I need help, and I'm at my wits end. Relatively new to the hobby. I have a 120g mixed reef tank wand have been keeping fish since the end of December. At one point inverts snails urchins. I had 4 clowns a tomini, coral beauty, Diamond goby, yellow watchmen, 2 Firefish, and royal gramma. All were...

Noticed my fox face is breathing heavy and his gills are a bit bigger than usual but is color is fine. I saw him eating earlier off of the nori but haven’t seen him eat since even after adding food. He does have a spot of ick on him (he’s survived it before and it’s in the tank) I have a qt tank...

Hi, Reef2Reef! Long time reader and hobbyist. I have a mature clown that is having some issues. LFS is stumped and so am I. I'll start with tank params. Salinity 1.023 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0-5 PH 8.2 40 gal aquatop has been up and running for about 8 months. Everything else in tank...

Noticed my damsel wasn’t swimming around. Found it like this (see picture). Still swims, sometimes upside down. Very lethargic/easy to catch. It is in a “newbie mistake” overcrowded tank, but it’s generally peaceful. I’ve qt’d the damsel and have dosed my tank with Reef Rally Pro. I’m...

Have had this coral in my tank for a few months ( not sure the name it was sold to me as a mushroom coral) and it seemed really happy grown heaps almost always opens up during the day (including today) however just noticed when the lights turned off that it had this going on. Any help would be...

Can someone help me ID this disease? I noticed a spot on this guys fin a few weeks ago but didn’t think it was anything until I saw this today.

Hi, Can someone please help identify or explain what this white string growing from my hammer coral? It’s attaching to my rock. It’s about 1-2 inches long. Also, it has some small white spots(2-3) on its body. Tank is about 3 months old. ALK- 8 Cal-400 Nitrate- 8 Phosphate - 0.00 PH-8.3 Thanks!

Evening all, I have recently purchased a purple firefish for my nano tank. The fish comes from a copper treated tank from a supplier here in the UK who did the QT on my behalf. Recently i have noticed that the fish has developed 2 large white lumps on its side and top, shown in the attached...

Hi all. I have had this clown exactly a year now. It's had this spot on its side since shortly after I got it but it's always been quite small. In the last few weeks it's gotten to be quite large and I'm not sure what it could be. It's never caused problems but lately he's been having trouble...

I had an ich outbreak in my DT about 26 days ago, and yanked all of my fish out of the tank, moved into multiple QT tanks. I have way more fish than tanks, and some would kill each other, so they are split over 7 QT tanks of different sizes. I consistently treated all of the tanks with Copper...
