Raised white spots on Coral Beauty

Some fish with Lympho respond nicely by adding Beta Glucan mixed into their food:

Wouldn’t it be great if there were one thing that we could give any sick fish that could help it? Aquarists dream of a “magic bullet” that could be used as a treatment for a plethora of problems.

Thank you. I do 20% water changes weekly and all of my corals are thriving. I did get pellets with garlic as I heard it increases thier immune system to offset the marine algae and frozen shrimp.

Soaking foods in selcon and zoecon is a great way to boost vitamin consumption.
