Hi everyone. I moved my tailspot from QT early and add him to DT about a week ago and I noticed some white blotches on his skin yesterday. I also added a large Pom Pom crab yesterday (body about the size of a nickel) and the tail spot was inspecting him and I believe he got swiped by one of it's nems - I was watching from the side of the tank and noticed the Pom Pom start waving it's nems when the tailspot got pretty close. The tailspot kind of sat there and then casual swam away so I wasn't sure if it got hit or not but a few hours later I noticed these spots on the side of the fish where the crab would have hit him. This was yesterday. This morning I noticed some flashing (literally only flashed against rocks twice). I've been observing him for a few hours and haven't seen any more flashing. I haven't had him long enough to pin down a behavioral pattern but he's extremely active, not shy, and eating.
I had to pull him out of QT early because I hadn't noticed my circulation pump took a dive and the flow was about 20% what it should have been. The water had gotten so dirty water changes couldn't keep up and he was beginning to look increasingly unhappy. He was in QT for about 17 days and the meds I use are: PraziPro, Paraguard, and his food is treated with Focus and General Cure. Throughout QT he showed no signs of disease.
