Hello, about two weeks ago I bought a new Bursa Trigger, and a filefish at the same time. Yesterday he developed some white spots on one side of his body. It was hard to take pics that accurately depict the spots, but I’ll post a few. He is acting normally it seems. Eating fine, swimming fine. Not sure the likelihood, but he does hang out where there are some nasty bristle
I’ve also got 2 clowns, a 6 line, an LMB, and a Scopas Tang who is acting funny. I’m thinking maybe I should post the tang behavior in another thread, but I’ll share the video here too. It seems like he’s seeing his reflection. Tank is roughly 8 months old. Mixed reef, although largely soft/Lps. Parameters are as follows: 34 salt, 8-9 DKH, 79 degrees, nearly undetectable nitrate, nitrite, and phosphate. I use red sea kits for most things, and Hanna phosphorus and alk checkers. I recently started to dose pohls vitalizer and brightwell aminos, following mfg recommendations. I also just added a skimmer, which I’ve been running without until this week. Any help that can be offered is greatly appreciated.
Edit: some more info, it’s a 90g with 30g sump (maybe 15g volume) , socks, small fuge, DCQ-2 skimmer, two xr30s at about 50% (gen 3, not super new, I’m sure output has diminished some)
Pics attached, here is link to video of tang:
