So I have posted recently about something sweeping they my system. Initially started out as ich, then covered the whole body, progressed to what looked like mucous cones, then the flesh peeling off. Any idea what’s going on? Affecting mostly tangs, but a heniochus and red lyretaile succumbed to it. @Jay Hemdal @vetteguy53081 @ReefSquad

Other Fish with symptoms are currently in hospital tank under copper at 2.30

Could be secondary bacterial infection from uncontrolled ich.
