We're still pretty new to the reefing world and have had our 175gal tank sat up for almost 6mo. We don't currently have a quarantine tank sat up (I know I know), but per our LFS who installed our tank, we do have a UV sterilizer.
We have had a healthy tank with no known issues until we added a seemingly healthy orange back fairy wrasse a week ago. We noticed two days ago a single small white dot on his head. Yesterday it looked a little larger and possible like two dots next to each other and today it looks a little worse. From my searching on the forum, I'm pretty certain it's not ich or velet since the rest of his body looks fine. He is still eating but has been pretty shy and spends most of his time hiding in our rocks. Is this possibly hexamita? I believe I saw his poop yesterday and again this morning and it's white and stringy.
