spots tiny on lionfish

Being the dots are not raised, it's unlikely to be a worm. I guess I would just sit tight for now, and hope it goes away on its own/does not worsen.

You do it just like the other fish. Net 'em up and throw them in. I use a certain type of white net that they don't get caught in, but usually it's the darn non-venomous opercular spines that gives trouble. A "regular" fish you'd just reach in and free them, but a hooked up lion isn't fun. When I used a green net one time transferring a radiata, it took me 30 minutes to free him. I felt SO horrible.

Are the spots unilateral or are they on both sides? If on both sides, they are of little concern at this point, if he's asymptomatic. If it's only on one, it may not be normal markings. I wouldn't treat with anything until it's ID'd for certain.

Well, I know how. I meant it would be great to have a video of it on the forum for others who dont know how. That's all i meant.
