I woke up to my clownfish looking terrible this morning, with what appears to be Ich. It is much worse on my male than on my bigger female although neither looks happy. It is also prevalent on my banggai cardinal and firefish. As I haven’t had experience with marine Ich before, I’m not sure if...

Today noticed some yellow spots on both sides of one of my clowns she’s eating but showing more aggression to her partner than usual. I added a wild fish to the system for the first time last week which I observed but didn’t medicate so afraid something has been introduced to the system. I have...

Hi!! I'm new to the reefing hobby, but I'm a experienced freshwater hobbyist. The thing is, not even experienced friends could tell me what happened to my new rainbow incinerator. I've bought it with a Sunny D in the same store, I've made a dip before putting it in the tank (new tank). The...

These fish have been in QT in Chloroquine at 60mg/gal for 4 weeks now. They have all gone through 2 doses of General Cure as well back to back. I dosed kanaplex and metroplex 24 hrs ago and havent really seen any affect. Ive been looking through a lot of other threads and no one seems to have...

Hello, #fishmedic #jayhamdel #vetteguy53081 Starting to see some white spots on of course the one non quarantined fish in my tank. Any idea if this is Ich and next steps? Other fish don’t seem to be affected so far… Thanks !

I know this is probably one of the most common questions, but I have been digging the interent for hours, eyes are strained and I can't figure it out. My clownfish has a few white spots and patches on one side of her body. None on fins. She's been breathing fast since yesterday and sitting...

Hi, I have a mandarin dragonet who recently developed a single white lump on the side of his face. I have not been able to identify what this is. Any suggestions on what it could be would be greatly appreciated. He is eating and behaving normally as far as I can tell. There have not been...

Hey guys new here and first post. About a week ago I noticed some white spots on one of my cyphastreas. I’ve had it for a year and all parameters are as follows - weekly 10% WC - Salinity - Alk 7.8-8.2 throughout the week, (Dosing Kalk) - Calcium 440-470 - Magnesium about 1300 - Nitrates and...

Hello, I have a Timor erase that I’ve had for around two years now and he has been struggling for months now with something I would like help in identifying. He has a large lump on one side of him and what looks to be another lump starting out almost directly on the opposite side along with a...

So just lost my trachy. Thought it was because pistol shrimp pushed it into favia. Now favia losing flesh. Not sure what's going on. Already pulled it out and dipped in iodine but it looks like it's still spreading. Any suggestions?

I just lost a flame angel. I want to make sure this clown is going to be ok. Any idea if this is a disease? 3 small white dots on clown.

My powder brown recently got ich a few weeks ago and it completely got off him and not onto any other fish and then I woke up today and he is covered in it and has these brown spots all over him as well as ich there’s stuff falling off him in big chunks so I have no clue what is going on.My...

Hi guys, Me again - this fish has previously had flukes which I dealt with several FW dips, moving tank in between each one, prazi pro and NT labs antiwork/flukes and he has was fine after that. He's been eating fine and is very active. He had one of these warts before and thought at first...

I just did a freshwater bath on my Midas blenny & leopard wrasse. Some white flukes came off but there were little brown round dots also. Almost the size of mini brown pellet food. Also some super tiny black - prob black ich for that one. Thoughts. Of course I already dumped the water so no pics.

It was fine 30 mins ago??

Hello, I got black tang shipped to me yesterday (6Jan2023) it has shown up like this in pics. seller says it was due to shipping stress and was looking fine when they packed it. Can you please suggest what would be best way to treat him and what is the disease he has. I do have multiple other...

I was wondering if this stuff on my Midas blenny was black ich, and if so how would I go about treating it? I do not have a qt tank, and if it is black ich I’d assume it’s probably spread.

Not a very fun post for me today, and definitely not fun for the wallet. I would love to know if someone could Id this disease for me. This is lennard my Lennardi wrasse who unfortunately wasn’t doing super well last night I tried to give him and right back into qt unfortunately to my best...

Hippo tang I ordered offline came in like this, any idea if this is aggression marks that will heal or a bacterial infection? It’s affecting her top fin and mouth but nowhere else on the body.

Hi Guys, So got my first pyramid butterflyfish the other day and sadly he arrived in very bad condition. He wasn't swimming upright and had lots of strange markings on him. He also had some of the flesh of the mouth slightly rotting. I put him in my quarantine tank (which has very clean water...

Hey, I got a really nice deal on a 2 inch convict tang from petco, but he is not in perfect condition, there seems to be 4 separate symptom not sure are they related. 1. Sunken stomach and cheeks, you could see the cheek bones, I think it might have been pitched stomach, but he has gotten a...

Hi all, I have a male and female blue throat triggerfish and occasionally notice white marks on them. I've seen it before, and in the past, I've simply assumed they are scrapes because they heal in a matter of day(s), are only on the triggers, and they do not behave unusually--no scratching or...

Hi all. I am having issues with my zoas. I noticed that they have started to not open up, some areas are disappearing and I am noticing a some are kinda turning black and disappearing. Can anyone hell. I have them in a relatively low flow and parameters seem good. Nitrates maybe a lil low since...

Last week, I posted a thread asking for help with a splotchy white discoloration on one of my clowns. Here’s the link to the thread: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/sudden-discoloration-in-clownfish-otherwise-acting-normally.936085/ The prevailing opinion seemed to be that it was brook. I...

Got home tonight and the smaller of my clown pair was looking like this. Could it be brook or velvet? It and all of the other fish in my tank are acting fine.
