Here is an interesting one. Got this changing emporer along with a melanaris wrasse about 6 weeks back. Put them both in a cycled QT and took them hypo for 2.5 weeks. All good. Raised them back up in salinity over the next couple weeks. Feeding frozen with focus and General Cure most of that time. About a week ago noticed large cotton like growths (1/8” dia) on the Angel along with this discoloration pattern as seen in the photo.
Started NFG treatments and stopped the GC feeding while in NFG. Saw the cotton growths go away over the next couple days but this discoloring continued and worsened. Also observed some random twitch and flashing. Angel only. Also started to see long white to clear stringy poop. Part of the foods are nori and lifeline. The wrasse remains without symptoms.
So last night I did a FW dip on the Angel followed by 90 minutes in RRR. Dip showed mostly clear but “possible” was two small flukes.
Returned angel to the quarantine tank with the wrasse After i added General Cure figuring the Metro would help in case of Brook and prazi for parasite. Resuming feeding with focus and GC.
Appetites remain good on both.
Excuse the dirty glass. Lots of water action. You can see the discoloration if you look past that. The water color is due to the NFG still being cleared out. Lots of water changes happening every daily.
Ideas what I am dealing with?
