Hello, I need help identifying something on my Potter's Angel please!
I purchased my Potter's Angel on 01/16. He is in a 30 gallon QT, Aqueon HOB Filter, Whisper air pump, some plastic pots for cover and a small piece of live rock because many say that they will only graze. Weekly 15-20% water changes.
I have never had the chance to get a really good look at him until yesterday (skittish, always hides) and I noticed two rather large white things dangling off his sides somewhere between his fins and gills. They appear on both sides. I panicked and immediately dosed PraziPro, added the air pump and am observing. I assumed flukes, but am suspicious because these are large, white, and I do not see any signs of distress.
I have yet to see him actively eating, but I replace the nori in his clip every 4-5 days and I see large green poos on the QT bare bottom so I assume he is eating. I also chuck in live brine every morning and I don't see them later in the day. Again, large green poos so I am assuming no intestinal issues or internal parasites (yet) but have ordered Metroplex, Focus, and Copper Power online just in case.
I am wary of doing a FW dip, hoping someone here can help me ID what they may be. Could be a feature of the fish? I have never had a Potter's and have only had unfortunate experiences with a couple of Flame Angels. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated! Please find below some pictures and video.
