May be sand opposed to ich but before a proper assessment can be made, please provide pics under white lighting or have someone aim flashlight at body while you take pics. Right now would be guess work
I have pretty fine sand. So it is possible. he swims in and out of the rocks all day. Sand can stick to the slime coat like that?No comment on potential Ich treatment but could it be sand stuck to him? I can't quite make out what substrate you have in the background.
Okay I will try to get a better picture but I feel like he knows I’m trying to see that side and it’s messing with me !May be sand opposed to ich but before a proper assessment can be made, please provide pics under white lighting or have someone aim flashlight at body while you take pics.

Oh, he knows !!Okay I will try to get a better picture but I feel like he knows I’m trying to see that side and it’s messing with me !
Is it possible it could be lymphocystis? How fast will those 2 spots spread of it is Ich? Is it okay to just monitor and do nothing but a water change?Oh, he knows !!
Lympho generally has large dots and starts at pectoral, caudal and upper doral finsIs it possible it could be lymphocystis? How fast will those 2 spots spread of it is Ich? Is it okay to just monitor and do nothing but a water change?
With these pictures one cannot make even a guess. Do the particles move? the history of the fish, your tank, etc. ? there is IMHo - no 'official' zone where lymphocystis 'begins'. - Usually its on the fins - yes - but - which ones - IDK. It looks like Lymphocystis to me
Is there anything I can do if either of those is the case ? I just did a 15% water change and will be keeping a close eye on itLooks too large to be ich (unless the angel is really tiny). I suspect bent/broken fin rays or Lymphocystis.

No - damaged fn rays will heal, but it can take months. Lymphocystis is a virus that almost always goes away by itself, no treatment needed. This may get worse before it gets better though.Is there anything I can do if either of those is the case ? I just did a 15% water change and will be keeping a close eye on it
