Hey guys, so I'm still fairly new to reefing and this is my first wrasse and I've never had a parasite issue before, so bare with me.
Couple days ago got a Melanurus Wrasse from my LFS and never noticed anything on him when I got him and hadn't noticed any weird behavior at the store. He was eating great and very energetic. Well today during feeding he started doing this quick rub against the rocks every now and then. I haven't really seem him do it much since, but I did notice this white dot near the back end of his tail. Should I be worried?? I didn't QT because I use this LFS all the time and never had issues and they've always been top notch, but now I'm worried he may have ick. Any recommendations on what to do or thoughts? Like I said, he's been eating great and very energetic. I also read that they may do this as part of hunting for pods?
Any help is very appreciated!
