how this oneFish that hide a lot and hide from light often have velvet -- I can't decipher much from the photo -- can you send a few of them closer up?
It sounds like your fish need treatment in a qt for something.
ya he don't have fins on either side anymore. But he stop rubbing, last 2 days I didn't see him rub at allIt almost looks as though he's rubbed all of his scales off, as well as the end of that fin.
This is a new one to me, but perhaps @melypr1985 or @Humblefish have seen its like in the past.

no change, I been trying to get the salinity up it was at 28ppt is 31ppt now, he start rubbing on rock 2nd day he was in tank, now he has stop rubbing on the rocks if I walk over to the tank he comes out of the rock work, I did a water change today, all my parameters are good other then salinity is low but I have some corals that's why I'm trying to up salinity. I hope I'm not killing this fish somehow. o his color is getting better to me he was more a powder white to me and he's getting more darker yellowWould still love to get to the bottom of it ... Any changes to the water? Anything that you can think of that might have been out-of-the-ordinary in the tank?

I see how unprepared I am for this fish tank now.I absolutely think you are going to need antibiotics for this guy. We need to figure out what was causing him to scratch so badly...
Ya there all at zero ph 8.0-8.1Have you tested for ammonia and nitrites? That's a decent amount of fish for a tank that is only 2 months old.
Took water to lfsThat's pretty quick!
How did you get the tank cycled so quickly, and how did you confirm that it is, in fact, cycled?

As for how idk this is my first tank. I test water every sat and ammonia nitrate, nitrite at 0That's pretty quick!

I'm doing test now I show u I'm not lYing about #Once things have stabilized, your ideal nitrate number should be just a bit higher (four, five or so is a number many folks shoot for - some are successful rather higher than that), but as long as the other two are at zero, my heartrate can go down. I got worried there for a moment!
