Below is a pic of my female in her torch coral. I’m worried it may be ick or maybe brook? At first I thought it was just a sting, but now it seems like it may be something else. I’ve had her since May 2020.
#reefsquad help pls

If it is some sort of disease, how do I proceed?

Torch stings are so common, I'd jump to that diagnosis, plus you've had the fish for quite some time.

If you can get a clearer photo, taken under white light, I might be able to give you a better diagnosis.

Ok its good to hear that, I just didnt know what torch stings look like. At least now I know. I also thought that it probably couldnt be something like ich or brook because I HAVE had them for months, so its most likely not the case. Sadly, tank lights just turned off :( Ill make sure to post a white light pic tomorrow and tag you so you see it.

@Jay Hemdal So its morning, and I can now see that the spots are more faded than they were last night, looks like they're going away. Sting wounds healed/healing?

My clown is having a similar issue which people are telling me is sting marks. He has blotches of black instead of white though. Im still skeptical as he has lived in my frogspawn and hammer since the beginning without issue.

If you could post a clear picture taken under white light, we might be able to see what's going on....
