Let me start with I'm a beginner. The Purple Firefish is the first fish I have going into a QT before putting it into my DT. My DT currently has 2 Mocha Clowns. I've just been observing the purple firefish in QT since Friday night, no med treatments. Last night I noticed some spots (not white) and I'm honestly not sure if they were there before. Are these spots normal to firefish or is this a disease? I looked up photos of firefish and haven't seen the spots. Here's a video and zoomed in photo. Also it seems to be pooping white with brown specs, but it's not long and stringy. Appreciate the help!
