Hello fellow reefers,
Need guidance regarding how to treat my Coral beauty with copper power.
I have had this coral beauty in my QT for 2 weeks now. It is showing white spots on its body and tail. Colors are still bright and clear with no hazyness or mucus like coat on it. I observe her closely daily and there were no spots yesterday.
I have read that angels generally don't react well to copper. I would have started treating it earlier but copper power got delivered yesterday (not readily available in AU) and I was still getting CB to eat readily.
It only eats AF pallets but enthusiastically and pecks on pvc pipe/rocks/tank walls all day long. Very active and no signs of stress. It quickly comes to the front of the tank as soon as it sees me n wait for me to drop pellets. No fast breathing. Clamped fins or odd colored patches.
Since it already has spots I think I will need to raise copper level relatively quickly. I was thinking of adding 1-2ml of copper power in 1liter QT water and slowly drip it in over a couple of hours while observing the fish.
If someone has any experience please do share.
some parameters.

Nitrites-0
Nitrates 10-20ppm.
Proper aeration with air stone.
