Hello fellow aquarists,

I'm working on my first reef aquarium. I have a pair of Bangaii Cardinalfish and the female has a strange mark that keeps disappearing and reappearing. I noticed it in quarantine and treated her with Ich-X, ParaCleanse, and Maracyn. It seemed to make it go away, but after a month in QT it has reappeared in the main tank. In the QT tank the male harassed her but now that they're in the main tank he likes her but she "runs away" from him. I have both Marine and normal Melafix, Furan-2, SulfPlex, Maracyn-2, Maracyn, Cupramine, Ich-X, Paracleanse, Prozipro, and General Cure. Should I remove her and if so, which should I use? She is acting completely normal other than avoiding the male. She eats well, swims normally, and seems happy. Thank you!
