Worried about my Two Spot Bristletooth.
Just noticed a big white spot on the front of his dorsal, as well as a smaller spec on one of his side, just this two single spots so far.

Currently been battling some SCA dino and dosing silicate, dosed lanthanum this week a bit (1ml for 60g mixed in rodi).

Also one of my clown showed covered in white mucus about 10 days ago and was bathed in RRR a couple times which seems to have helped. He showed some faint white mucus again yesterday, did a 90min bath and he looks good, no one is showing any abnormal behavior, and everyone eats well.

Top looks like an injury starting to heal and dot may be a sand grain or even lympho but keep an eye on it if ich is a concern in which ich spots will and would increase every 24 hrs
Continuing ruby rally pro will help

Lanthanum is really tough on tangs. Be sure to be conservative with your dose, and filter the mixed water through a 10 micron filter sock or something similar before the water returns to the tank.
