I realize without pictures this may be an impossible task.... I'm also piecing together dates pulled from some really awful record keeping on my part. (Starting today that's my resolution, better tank record keeping!)
Last fall I had a B/W clown (added 2/2012), a mocha clown(added ?? 2013?) and two gobies (E. oceanops) (added early 2014). The B/W clown had become aggressive to the point of hunting a scooter blenny throughout the rocks and ultimately driving it out of the tank. I can't remember when (didn't write it down!) a white speck appear on the B/W clown for the first time, but I believe it was late 2014. The Blenny Incident of 2014 forced the B/W clown into a separate tank while I figured out what to do with it. While in this tank for 2+ weeks I didn't see another spot on it. During its "time out" another reefer said they wanted it, and it was rehomed. FWIW, I did recommend they QT it because something was going on w/my tank.
The fish I had in my tank at the end of 2014 were a mocha clown, & 2 gobies. Over the past 9 months or so I've noticed what appears to be a white skin tag on the left side of the mocha clown. Its 2-3 times longer then it is wide, and its only 1mm or less wide...ie, its TINY but definitely white. It appears every 10-14 days, maybe longer, hangs around for a few days and then disappears. I notice it mostly because the gobies become VERY interested in the clown and try and climb all over while homing in on this speck.
Over the past 9-10 months I may have seen 2 specks at the same time, but its usually only one. It's only on the clown, and almost always in the same spot on the same side of that fish. I haven't noticed any scratching, rubbing, weird twitching or shimmying from any fish. I've also not seen any spots on the gobies.
Last week I broke the tank down (Upgrade, err sideways grade) and was able to pull all the fish out, and they are now in day 3 of TTM because I thought this might be ich, and this is my only shot at removing those *&^% gobies!
After that word wall, what do you speculate is on this fish? Would you add prazipro on Day 4 & Day 15? Something else? Nothing?
I had originally planned on Day 13 to move them to a small 10 gallon and keep them there for 72 days. BUT, if I'm not willing to do that with any incoming corals or inverts, would the 72 days fallow for the DT be a total waste?
