Hello all. I recently got a McCosker Flasher Wrasse that looks like it might have some fin rot. I have never seen fin rot like. It puzzles me quite a bit. He is still eating. I gave him some pellets this morning and gave him some mysis after I got home. He ate both times. He is swimming out in the open. He doesn’t seem or act sick. Just look at the picture below. My main concern is his anal fin. As you can see, he has white, clear spots on the fin and some on his dorsal fin (the part where it turns bright blue). I’m thinking it is fin rot and if it is, I have medication on hand to treat him with. Luckily, he is in a quarantine tank at the moment.

This could be flukes. I would perform a 5 min FW dip to check for that: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/freshwater-dip.248898/
If flukes show, treat with Prazipro: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/prazipro.247598/
If no flukes show, I would treat with a mild antibiotic such as Kanaplex.
