Bump. By whitespots I mean ich
 
So the weirdest thing just happened. I saw something looking like dead skin floating on top of the foxface. Whatever those white spots were it was on that piece of dead skin. It got released from him and he ate the dead skin now there isnt a single spot on him.
 
My fox face gets something like this from time to time. They’re usually a little larger than what I think of as ich. Never any other symptoms. They’re usually gone within a day. My cleaner wrasse takes care of them sometimes.

I could be wrong but I believe that is a mucus that they shed when they are fighting something.
