I recently lost all my fish to I believe was brooklynella but I came across this picture the other day from bassleer that shows a strong resemblance to anthias I really hope it's not uronema my female was the only one with the red mark, I have to note that my midas blenny did bully my anthias constantly

Others pointed out it was a vibrio infection like I said she was the only one with the red mark my other anthias didn't had any red spots, my midas blenny didn't had any red spots, my midas blenny constantly bit my anthiases tho, I dont know for sure until a new fish goes in after qt my female begin to have this before the red I seemed for help but only rookies said it was nothing which didn't helped at all

IMO Uronema. From what I can see. Out of the last 3 anthias I ordered on line, two came in with the ”wounds”of uronema on their sides. Those two died within days. The other is still doing great a year later and never showed signs of uronema.

I brought 4 bartlett anthias 1.5 mths ago, during QT one started to show sign and slowly all are infected by uronema over 2 weeks and within the QT I also have a Lemon Peel angelfish that show no sign and is eating like a pig.

Uronema will attack fish that with low immunity which in your case can be due to the constant bully by the blenny. Fish with strong immunity will be able to fight it off.

btw, with proper treatment my anthias have recovered and are currently under observation.

I find it strange that the female had only a red mark and that the spot where my blenny bit her I mean if it's uronema won't all fish have red marks, I'm very confused and broken now it feels like my immunity is going down as well
