Disease or Pest on Midas

Happy Holidays fellow reefers!!
Woke up and noticed my blenny has what look like tiny eggs/balls along his lowers fin. He doesn't seem stressed and neither do the other fish. I was thinking ich but not sure. Never had an issue before. Any help would be appreciated

Welcome to R2R!

Looks like it could be Lymphocystis, a viral disease which is usually helped by feeding a good diet.

Looks like sand or lympho.

Does not appear to be ich.

Im seeing sand and a fish thats a little thin
What foods are you offering and how aggressively is it eating?

Thanks for the response! I actually feed him a pretty good diet of a couple different TDO pellets & some different frozen treats. He's prob the best eater in the tank.

I agree, this looks like Lymphocystis or sand grains - ich doesn't set up in a pattern like that. In terms of keeping these blennies fat, that can be a challenge. Take a look at this thread:
