Hi everyone!
Im very new to marine fish keeping. I got a firefish goby two weeks ago. Upon getting it, it looked in very good shape. But just a couple of days ago, I started noticing that its tail was frayed and now i noticed some white fuzzy spots on its body. Could someone help me identify what it is and how I can help the fish?
I attached a video

Picture is fuzzy but appears to be either lymphocystis or bacterial in which I’m leaning towards bacterial. Assure you have Good water quality and diet
Being that this is a somewhat delicate fish, I would use ruby rally pro which is reef safe

Thanks for this! I’m from Australia and I don’t believe we have ruby rally pro available here. Are there other alternatives you may know of?

I'm afraid that is not available in Australia as well :( Do you think tri sulfa tablets would work? the ingredients are sulfadizine,sulfadimidine, and sulfamerazine.

If it isn't reef safe, I think I would just have to take him out and put him in a QT(which I already have set up). But i would probably have to take out my rocks and anemone and re-scape :(
