white spot

Hey guys! I’ve had this starfish for a couple months and at first she (or he) was under was under the sand a lot and come out every now and then. Recently she stays on top of the sand and I noticed this white spot on top. It’s not sand because it doesn’t come off. Also not sure what’s...

I recently got a coral beauty added it to my tank that has 2 clowns it spent the first 3 day hiding only coming out to eat now that it’s actually out about going around the rocks I noticed a white spot on it and don’t know if it was the clown fish or if it scraped itself on a rock it’s swimming...

Please help identify what is going with our coral beauty, we have had her for about a month now. Her tail got roughed up I think by another fish but is looking worlds better now. This last week she has been pooping in very long strings, that seemed to be getting better but this morning I noticed...

I just recently noticed that one of my Firefish has an odd spot on his eye. You can see in the picture that the top one has the weird spot and the bottom one is fine. The same fish with the spot was getting bullied by my pistol shrimp for a little bit, but I think that has resolved itself. The...

My flame hawk is a little pale atm not its usually colour obviously we just treated the tank as a few other wish had white spot we were advised to leave the treatment in there for 14 days for it to get around and hopefully help them all out its been 2 days since we have began the waiting process...

I’ve had my green chromis a couple of days, all been fine. But today I noticed all of them have these small white spots on their fins and tails… I'm not to sure what this is? have attached pictures.

Hello all! New to the hobby! Is this white spot/substance coming out of my favites something I should be concerned about? It is located at the bottom of my tank in low to medium flow and medium lighting. Thanks for your help!

hello. I have just noticed a small what appears white spot on my fox face. it is very small and appears to be more of a dimple in some photos than a raised lump. for defence I have a yellow and purple tang in the tank as well. Not sure if the tangs tail spine could’ve done then dimple ? here...

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.

My Indian mud eel has these white spots randomly on it now??? They weren’t there earlier today but i just noticed them. Could it have been stung by an anemone? It’s acting normal and it ate earlier but I’m not sure what’s going on.

Hi I did QT-ed my clownfish for 28 days with 0.5 cupramine as instructed. Unfortunately , he has white spots (1 on each side of his gills) Its symmetrical and its possibly not ich? He was in the QT with 3 other fish (wrasse, chromis, fire goby) put in at the same time. Other 3 is completely...

I recently got a six line wrasse and made the school boy error of not having a QT tank. Shortly after adding him I noticed a white spot near his tail. I must have missed this earlier, as it’s just above the peacock feather like pattern on his tail. At first I thought it was part of his...

So, I bought my first pair of clownfish from an LFS I've frequented for a while now. The first day I put them in I noticed some white spots on the male clownfish, about seven on one side and two on the other (one looks like a sore). Other than that he's been quite active and eating, but noticed...

I know this isn’t the greatest photo but Pennywise the clown fish is very active so it was hard to take a decent photo. He has a little white spot near his tail and I was wondering what it could be. Like I mentioned, he’s very active, comes to the side of the tank when I’m there to feed them...

We bought this “emerald crab” today and just want to confirm whether or not it is actually an emerald crab because it is not green like most of the pictures online. We were thinking that maybe perhaps because it is juvenile that it hasn’t turned green yet. Also when we got home we realized that...

Hello Reef2reef community! I wanted to start a thread pertaining to a research paper that I found online about C.irritans and a potential treatment option. Here is a link to the document -> https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6344632/pdf/AEM.01982-18.pdf In their abstract, they...

Hello, My clown started developing white edges on its tail fin 2 weeks ago. I cant tell if this is a disease or if clowns develop new patterns. I only have the clown and two turbo snails in a 30 gallon tank. All my parameters are where they need to be and I do weekly 15% water changes. Ive had...

Hi, I recently picked up some corals off a friend and this random mushroom was closed and tucked on the back on the rock. He came loose and floated around until i caught him & put him into my loose mushroom cup. he eventually attached to a rock. Now that he’s open I got a semi decent picture of...

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...

Hello yesterday one if the heads had a small white dot. Didn’t think it could be anything. I’m new to Euphyllia so I’m not sure if this is normal. Today I looked the white spot is bigger and another spot popped up on another head. What is this??

Hey all, Pretty new here and just noticed today this white spot on our Chromis' head. I just added a bubble tip anemone today, is it possible it is a sting? or something else? Tank is relatively new, water parameters have all been consistent as we've added fish. He has been in the tank for about...

Hello, This is my first post I have a cbb for one month in qt. He has no problem eating. Day one was a full dose of cupramine .58 and prazi for 2 weeks. Then a water change making sure the copper didn't drop. Water temperature 80 degrees. There looks like white spots or sores on the scales to...

Any ideas of what this may be? He doesn't appear to be sick, he's a finicky eater but is demolishing all Majano anemone.
