Hi fellow reefers, Question: (answers from experienced reef tank owners preferred) Based off of the provided information and images in this post, does this Melanurus Wrasse appear to be injured or sick? If sick, with what? Background: About 3.5 weeks ago I purchased this Melanurus Wrasse from...

I just noticed these white spots all over my one clown. How can I tell if it's Velvet or Brooklynella? I attached pictures although it was very hard to capture a clear photo of it. Is there anything I can do to stop it? And do I have to start over after this, like a 100% water change? Thanks!

I have a small clownfish in my 55 gal reef and he has some blotchy white patches on his body. Hoping it’s not Brook but can someone please tell me? There are 3 other clowns in the tank as well and 1 shows some slight aggression to him. Could it just be aggression? Pics below

My filefish has this sore that I noticed today on his back. He also seems to have sores on sides. I’ve had him about 3 weeks. Has been eating and swimming well, still doing fine. I’ve now put him in another compartment with air stone. Treat for ich or something else?

Hey everyone. Made this account for this post.. My bullet hole clownfish in my nano reef is breathing very heavy, her jaw won't close, and it seems that she has some inflammation around the chin & gills. My tank is about 3 months old, she's been in there for about a month and some days with her...

Hey Guys, I have recently purchased a nice looking bristletooth tang last Sunday. For all I can tell he may very well be healthy. Eating well from the moment I got him into the Quarantine tank and not gasping as far as I can see. Looks a healthy weight and I have not noticed any skin lesions...

Hi all I’ve had this blue tang for around two weeks when I brought him he had no signs of any illness. He is currently in a quarantine tank and isn’t medicated. He has had these scars appear on his sides recently. He does like to sit near rocks so I assume he is scraping himself against the...

Hi there, sorry to open a new thread about this but a lot of the info I have gotten has been difficult to find stuff completely relevant. I have an issue with my clownfish, I have one platinum clown who has a long white/clear stringy poop hanging off him. It appears as though his butt hole...

Hey everyone, my frogspawn doesn’t seem to be doing well and appears to be peeling. I also noticed holes in the skeleton and they keep growing. I’ve also noticed it up closer to their flesh there are now Holes

Hey you guys. Got this brand new Anthias fish and put it in QT. The following day I notice it has this white patch. Does it look like ICH? Or lympho? Thanks you guys.

I,ve had my purple tang for around 2-3 months at this point and he’s never had any markings out of the ordinary on his skin before. around a week or so ago he has shown a weird white patch in front of his rear fin on both sides of his body. no other fish are showing any discolouration or...

Hello, I have a Melenarus wrasse that unfortunately broke it's jaw (or something) about 7/8 months ago. He can't close his mouth at all, and has basically lived just accepting he doesn't really have a job to do, but he has always been an active swimmer. He breathes hard. Constantly. I imagine...

This tang presents a little different than the others that died. They had a white fuzz on them. Velvet? I don't have great pics of those fish with it, they were hiding. First the Powder brown and another similar tang went down fast after showing some dark spots (larger than black ich, more like...

I have a copper band butterfly that i have had for over a month and he just started twitching out of the blue. Could this just be stress related as i have just moved him to a different qt or am i looking at something that i need to treat here?

Hello, My Gold Rim tang experienced the same before eventually dying, I do not want this to happen again. Hoping to ID and find ways to treat. My blue tang is also swimming sporadic ally, and my regal angel seems off with signs of white spot. I’m currently treating with medications to help...

Hello, Just found this on my clown tonight. I’m concerned he might not make it, he’s still eating well. Any thing I can do to start him on the right path? Thank you so much in advance.

These two were isolated out of my DT after showing signs of what I presume to be velvet. I’ve since lost both while in the hospital tank after a 4min freshwater dip which they tolerated well and start of copper treatment (only got to 1.0 ppm before they died). I started a treatment of...

I found out this morning that my clownfish, which has been in the tank for roughly 9 months, has some sort of white splotches/spots over her skin. I want to know if this is the start of ich or velvet, or maybe brook, or something else. There is one other fish in the tank, a coral beauty at the...

My cyphastrea started developing these white spots a few days ago and they have spread. Is it tissue recession or is there something else going on? Going to do a H20 change as soon as I can get the salt tomorrow but so far all my chem looks good. Any ideas? https://ibb.co/DC0Tbkg

He did have lympocistitis but was recovering and feeding well then he died suddenly overnight. Any idea what this could be? Many thanks.

Hi everyone, here I am again asking for help. I noticed today that there are some transparent bubbles on my cardinalfish's left side. The fish was staying most of the time in the corner of the tank ( quits the corner sometimes ) since a few days but I didn't think much of it because it actually...

what do you think these white marks/spots are? He also has some very small black spots, only his tail is effected. The other fish seem fine. Also can you suggest a treatment please. He is currently in quarantine with two peacock wrasse and a yellow tang.

Hi all! This Saturday, I got a small adult chocolate tang and a tomini tang from my LFS. Tomini has been fine through all of this. I put them in my quarantine tank for observation. They weren’t picking at each other at all, and had actually come from the same holding tank at the store. On...

Hello, My tomini tang has had marks on him for over a week now. Had to go away for a trip and it looks much worse. Have not been able to identify what it has. He is eating but is hiding a lot. He obviously looks more white than normal, had holes in the head, and appears to have a rust like...
