1st is this possibly ich? It's not scratching or anything...and no other fish have spots.
I've dealt with ich in the past (gone fallow 2x) and have been very careful with this latest build. I only buy quarantined fish or fish that come from an established tank. I do not QT corals, so there are pathogen vectors that can still hit me.
2nd if this is ich, I'm not setup for treatment. This is a 100gal tank with:
Powder Brown Tang
2x Golden Headed Sleeper Goby
Blue Star Leopard
Candy Basslet
Clown
2x Orange Spotted Filefish
2x Blue Stripe Pipe Fish
Green Banded Goby
Two Spot Goby
Possum Wrassse
Yellow Possum Wrasse
Bicolor Blenny
Goby & Pistol shrimp pair
I'm not sure I can even catch all these fish. As the Wrasses will hide in DSB and I have a ~80lb rock structure that will be very hard to remove.
I don't have a big enough hospital tank and several of these fish won't do well with copper. I usually TTM un-quarentined fish.
I never thought I'd say this, but I may have to go the ich management route...which I don't think really works.
Any suggested approaches on how to handle this situation?
