Hiya All!
I recently upgraded to a 150 Salt Water with Live Rock - No Corals - And my Angels have some sort of fungus\bacteria on fins ( don’t see it on body) - can anyone identify for me and what to use in the display tank for treatment. Looks like most angels have it now…

Hi, the pics and video just are not clear enough to make a firm diagnosis. We also need more background information;

How many angels are affected?
Are there other fish in the tank? What species?
Do they show any other symptoms?
How long did it take for these to develop?

I don't think it is bacterial, and is certainly not fungal. At this point I'm leaning towards either uncontrolled ich, or Neobenedenia skin flukes.

Pics are very distorted and a video under bright white light may be more helpful.
How do other fish look and how are you testing water , mainly ammonia, ph and nitrate?
Any aggression that you have seen the last week or two?

Well, to treat the entire display for ich and flukes, you would have to use hyposalinity (no invertebrates can be present during that).

I added Rally Pro to tank.

Any thoughts on Rally Pro Product?

I'm having a really difficult time working with your video. One thing for certain is the emperor angel just has Lymphocystis. That's a mild viral disease that may get worse, but will eventually go away on its own. The queen angel also may have this, but I couldn't see clearly.

cant see body clearly as video was short but under good lighting. Agree on lymphocystis which Often is associated with water quality issue as simple as elevated ammonia or nitrate and can be that of water from LFS and not yours. Assure to provide Good water quality monitored by a reliable test kit and feed nutritious food with fats such as LRS nano frenzy and mysis shrimp. This is often common with angels and butterflies
