QUESTION ?? looking for some direction got this tang about 10 days ago as a gift and made the rookie mistake of not QT you think this is ich or Lymphocystis.

Much appreciated

90 Gallon reef tang, 50g sump, refugium,

I don't think it's either of those options... but not sure what it is! #reefsquad

Could be a bacterial infection, did this all set in quickly or has it been progressive?

If all those spots showed up within just a few days, then its probably a pretty advanced/aggressive bacterial infection and the prognosis isn't good.

It does love to hide in the rocks and the small damsile keep trying to attack her the first week. You think possible bite marks?

 

[fishguy242]

i would say no on bite marks,tail seems fine,but if damsel is harassing ,not a good thing can lead to stress and illness.

Not as a result of a bite, but as a result of the hiding.
