parasite

So I just got these mocha vinic clowns last week. They seemed to be doing well, and eating. On eats and spits out the pellets or just eats the tiny stray mysis legs that float around after the others demolish the mysis. So little to no nutritional value. However, today I actually REALLY watched...

I noticed two white spots on my Blue Cheek Goby approx. three weeks ago - he's doing fine, no further spots have developed and no other livestock show signs. Would love to get him out to treat and quarantine but catching him is near impossible with my size of tank. What is the current recommend...

I just finished drip acclimating a huge RBTA. I dosed 2mL of Seachem Reef Dip in a bit over 750mL of water he was housed in. Once I did that, the little critter below jumped off of him and started going nuts - jumping in all directions like a flea. I included a photo of a Chinet plate with it in...

Hey all! So I just bought a black storm clownfish today from my LFS. I noticed some black spots on him that seem unusual and was wondering if there something I should get a head start on. I live in military dorms so I’m not allowed to have more than two tanks or else I’d have a quarantine setup...

I’m relatively new to marine aquarium keeping I’ve had freshwater in my household my entire life growing up but this is my first salt tank and my first to keep by myself. I had been given an “established” tank from my neighbor who had to move and couldn’t keep the tank. After doing weeks and...

I ordered a couple of fish from LiveAquaria: an ORA Picasso Clownfish and a Diver's Den Red Head Solon Fairy Wrasse. This was my first time ordering from Diver's Den. The wrasse arrived this morning with a white spot at the top front of its dorsal fin which I noticed while drip acclimating for...

Hello, I’m wondering if someone could help me. So I’m doing the tank transfer method for my fish because I’m 99% sure that it got into my saltwater tank. I know it wasn’t velvet, and I know it wasn’t Brook, And they were white spots. I did a freshwater dip and didn’t see anything. This is the...

Got home to my gsp frag with all the polyps closes so I inspected and found these. Should I be worried? What are they?

All of a sudden I have an infestation of very small brown and black pests that are scraping my rocks clean of all coralline, and attacking my acropora . Rocks looks bleached with blue streaks underneath. I found some from on A new frag weeks ago as it suddenly hade four on it, eating the acro...

I am not sure if I am being paranoid or not so I figured I would ask the experts. Tang is not showing any labored breathing, normal eating, no scratching. Seems to be about 5 small bumps under his skin on his side, small but noticeable because I look at him everyday. And like 4 white dots on...

Good morning fish disease experts, Here’s whats happening: Divers den fish bought 4 yrs ago Been through ttm, CP, prazipro. Occasionally (3x year for few days to 1 wk), I will see a spot on its pectoral fin or dorsal fin. Never on the body but close to. I’ve chalked it up to Lympho because no...

I believe its an isopod. Cant tell if its a good thing or bad.

Hey guys, so I'm still fairly new to reefing and this is my first wrasse and I've never had a parasite issue before, so bare with me. Couple days ago got a Melanurus Wrasse from my LFS and never noticed anything on him when I got him and hadn't noticed any weird behavior at the store. He was...

I got Marty, a Pink Spotted Watchman Goby, about a week ago. I was watching him while feeding earlier and noticed he has a rough patch of blackened scales and it appears there is some kind of parisite moving under his skin (see attached video). What is wrong with Marty and how can i treat him?

I have a yellow tang that seems to have an isopod attached to it. What would you recommend for treatment? Is it dangerous? We removed the beast with tweezers. It took some fin with it. Fish seems OK for the ordeal. Here are some pics

I added a piece of macro algae to my tank yesterday evening and my one fish in the tank (clownfish) now has bumps near his gills the following morning. Did I introduce a parasite? Any help with IDing it would be helpful. The tank is just the clownfish and a piece of macro algae. Tank is 1.5...

Anyone ever put prazipro in their DT? I have corals and two clown fish and no QT.. i don’t want to lose my fish but i don’t have equipment for a QT so my only option is DT. Has anyone every had negative side effects? Tank is 2 almost 3 months old and fish have been in DT the whole time. Believe...

Hello, I recently purchased 2 clownfish from my LFS that they received from ORA. I bought the fish while still in the packages directly from ORA. So the fish were never in the LFS water. I brought the fish home and put them in a QT. They are not in my main display yet. My question is, has...

Hi everyone, I've been looking around on this forum for information quite a lot the last year, but never really made an account or had something worth posting. Now however, I've made a fairly worrysome discovery on which I could certainly use the help of some more experienced reefers. So, I...

If you have parasitic pods PM me. Ivermectin IV is available from TSC for 45$ which will treat 833 gallons. Using as part of my QT protocol and is effective in my hands. Not safe for bristle worms or stomatellas. Mine have died in the QT. I would be willing to ship treatments to you to try...

I have been battling in my reef tank what i thought was ich that came from a very well known vender 2 separate times now. The first time i had a die off but it went away and other fish seemed healthy. Any ich medicine i have dosed in for the previous time and for this time seem to not work. It...

Our male Clownfish had a little brown string hanging from his stomach tonight. Could just be poop, but it's the first time we've seen it in 2 months so it was odd. Then, 2 minutes later our female clown had it too. Also, brown. Just want to know what you guys think about it, should we be...
