Spots on Wrasse Tail Only

[Huskymaniac]

@Jay Hemdal Nothing new has been added and this is the second time in the last few months something like this has happened. Way to many spots to be ick. Located on the tail only so not velvet. Nothing new added and the fish is acting normal. Did notice on its side it had a bristleworm spike in it and there is a large bristleworm that hangs in the same cave as the fish. Is it possible these are reactions to getting spiked by a bristlworm? At a loss.

How does your Kole tang look? Any spots?

The wrasse's tail looks a little tattered as well. You could be right about bristleworm. Could the spots be sand?

Definitly not sand. Nothing on the kole tang.

I would just observe and make sure it is eating well. I would use the Kole as the canary for velvet/ich. It should be fine.

Yeah, velvet is mainly a gill disease and the spots don't look right for ich at all. Looks more like mucus to me, and there is a little bit of fin damage. So - mechanical trauma makes sense, I just don't think a bristleworm would do that, but maybe? I take it the fish is still feeding fine? If so, I'd just watch it.

Possibly crypto but could be something that will come and go. Good water quality and healthy diet always helps.
