Hi, need some help, new to this Hobby and got too excited after a few successful months with no issues, then bought a Marine Betta that died within 4 days and looked sick, lots of tiny white spots, one of my clown fish got sick too and died after 5 days, got a quarantine tank and move my other clown fish there, I noticed some white spots and treated him with Proguard and it looked fine after a 10 days, I still had 2 fishes in my main tank thay showed no signs of white spots, I loved back my clown fish to the main tank and it died the next day, looked purplish when I found it, now I dont know if its my nerves or if a see a disease in my other fish, I see like white spots only on the side fins and I have also a 6 line wrasse that shows no signs of white spots but the blue shows some of it, here is the picture.
Need some help, I have soft corals in my main tank and Just started treating in with the poly lab reef safe medic water conditioner, bought a UV filter to clean water from bacteria and had it on for 5 days straight until I noticed my skimmer water was supper clean and decided to turn it off, I have 2 questions, anybody sees a desease there? second should I take the fish out to the quarantine tank? And how should I treat my main tank from deseases if I have soft corals in my tank, also adding picture of setup.

thanks!!
JC

This does not look like ich but rather lymphocystis which is viral and often due to either poor water quality, diet or both. The most common sign of lymphocystis is raised, white to grey nodules on the skin and fins. It is often confused for white spot disease or ich, given its similar appearance. Stress too can trigger this.
There is no treatment for lymphocystis in any species or system other than supportive care.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

I do see some possible ich spots on the damsel, but it is hard to tell from the photo.
Ich is difficult to treat in a display tank, but you can try the polyp lab medic. The best treatment is to move all fish to a hospital tank and treat with copper or low salinity.

it dowsnt look like that its not s white point its more like a blurry white spot in the the lateral fins, water parameters are just fine but been having those symptoms on the fish since that Marine Betta was in the tank and died here are a video and pictures of the other fish that died

The marine betta that died had severe ich. If the other fish were exposed, but not treated, they likely have it as well. I'd say that my post from last night is the best option I can offer....I'll be offline until tomorrow, so I won't be able to follow up though.
