Hey all. Left for work with two healthy chromis and cam back to this guy being a jerk to everyone and sporting this.

Considering this guys been harassing my valentini my first thought is it’s a bite from my little puff. But it also sorta looks like Uronema. What do you all think? There haven’t been any symptoms before this.

any and all input welcome. I’d hate to have to get ride of this fish. But my clowns and puffer have my heart. I got the chromis to be dither fish. So yeah.

How long have you had it? It looks like it might be Uronema. Chromis, in particular, can be a bit susceptible, so I would be extra cautious.

I’ve had it for a week tomorrow. The other chromis looks perfectly healthy. And the clowns and valentini have no signs of anything, are eating like normal, and just seem annoyed that the chromis in question has been a bit of a Richard to them. The guy who has been really helpful and knowledgeable at my LFS told me to just monitor for now as chromis are prone to this. He said just monitor, worst case scenario I remove the fish and treat the tank, but he doesn’t think it should spread to my other fish.

I really need to get my DT set up so I have a true QT
