It’s a reef tank with a couple corals. Had the fish for an about 2 months. Fine yesterday eating and active, but saw it like this this morning https://m.youtube.com/shorts/Q7yI5SiI9gMIs he new? Or has new livestock been introduced? Was he QT’ed?
symptoms all sound like Velvet.
do you have a QT to put him in? Is it a ROWLR or reef?

The nip was on the fish when I got him. No one bullies him. He Wes feeding yesterday fine. But I tried a couple of pellets and wouldn’t go for it. I just put in seaweed chips and he seems to be eating nowI don’t see any spots.
Not swimming erratically.
Looks like a nip in top fin back.
Anyone attack him?
Will he feed?

What other fish do you have in there?
I see a bit of labored breathing but its hard to see the overall fish due to dots/film on the glass. Fish is a little under-weight. What foods are you feeding it ?
I feed daily. Pellets and seaweed. Ammonia is 0 and salinity 1.025. Eats more than the other fish. It has it cave it usually hides in. It could be that something spooked him while I was asleep. He started to regain his colorI see a bit of labored breathing but its hard to see the overall fish due to dots/film on the glass. Fish is a little under-weight. What foods are you feeding it ?
As this fish startles easily as you may have seen, I suspect a chance it ran into glass but mouth does not appear brusied and I dont think its an aggression issue as rear dorsal is healed from previous instance.
I also doubt velvet based on behavior.
Need a clearer video to see fish better but glass and camera lens need to be clean.
What is ammonia and salinity and how are you testing?
