Hi,
I'm fairly new to this, my tank is only about 2 and a half months old and all was going well until the weekend just gone when I noticed my lemon coral goby had white spots on it. I researched and I don't think it's ich, certainly all the other tank members (2x Anthias, 1x Flame Angel, 1 Purple Fire Goby) still seem fine and completely healthy and free of disease 5 days later, but it did look like lympho.
Today however I noticed that the goby's fins have gone black in patches, which look like bloody lesions on inspecting a close photo, and the face looks particularly grey, which I think is due to an increasing woollen like growth on it.
Sorry for the poor quality pictures, but hopefully they help. Any idea what this is, or what I should do to treat it?
Water looks clean, skimmer and UV filter are running, Ammonia is fairly low, below 0.01 at about 0.004, Nitrites are 0, PH is about 8.2, salinity is a little low at 32, and the only real problem is nitrates which keep zeroing out, though I think this is because I'm in the ugly stage and there's daily algae growth on the glass eating them up as soon as they're created, though I have increased feeding a little as I believe I may have been slightly underfeeding previously, so hopefully this helps.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, really hoping I can save this fellow.
