Last week I received 4 female Bimaculatus anthias in seemingly good health. I didn't see any sign of flukes and they went directly to my quarantine.
I had one die the first day, a second died a few days later. The two remaining fish are lethargic, labored breathing, loss of appetite, but no other visible symptoms. They look absolutely healthy other than barely moving and eating.
Just now I happened to look at one of dead specimens I'd frozen and there's now a large red ulceration that wasn't visible when it first died. Does this look like uronema? Any other help please?
