So I recently got my first saltwater tank started and just recently a couple days ago and I noticed that my Percula Clownfish (it's the only fish in the tank right now as it's only 10 gallons and I haven't gotten the ammonia spike) has some type of white stuff under it's right eye. I got him and put him in after cycling the tank for a couple days. I've tested ammonia, nitrates, nitrites, pH, and salinity and they're all right where they would be. I also have the temperature set to 79°F (if that info helps). I only have the little guy, 2 live rocks, reef substrate, and a Xenia coral frag. Should I be doing something different? Is he gonna be okay?

Thanks,
~zbk

Yes, sorry my bad, it's my first thread and I didn't see that it had to be approved first so when I checked my threads I just assumed it didn't work or go through
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
