wildcrazyjoker81 April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 looks like it got stung by a coral. Should go away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ridetheducati April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 Do you have reason to believe the fish has ich? Do you follow a quarantine process? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiev0008 April 27, 2015 Author Share April 27, 2015 I purchased it from a lfs that does quranteen the fish but don't know Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkiboy April 27, 2015 Share April 27, 2015 (edited) I purchased it from a lfs that does quranteen the fish but don't knowwhat is their protocol? was it prophylactically treated or simply quarantined (held isolated for x amount of time)? how long have you had the fish? any other fish showing symptoms? how long has it been showing symptoms? it is good that it is eating well - kept it well fed on high quality foods and provide the best environment and stable parameters you can for it.

eddiev0008 April 28, 2015 Author Share April 28, 2015 (edited) He is eating well other fish look fine but I placed him in the sump just in case it was ick not sure . I had the fish for about a week, always active eating well and swimming but this morning I saw the black spots on his body so I freaked out and placed him in the sump to better keep an eye on him any suggestions ?

AlanM April 28, 2015 Share April 28, 2015 sump will help keep an eye on him, but if he had ick it wouldn't help the other fish not catch it. Also sump and catching process might just stress him out and make a tough situation for him worse. If you're not planning to remove and quarantine, I'd leave him alone and just make sure he eats and acts fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YHSublime April 29, 2015 Share April 29, 2015 What Alan said is great advice, and you've gotten lots of advice on this thread already. I would suggest you keep it well fed and stress free, and you know how I feel about the stress free and size! How's it doing, btw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddiev0008 April 30, 2015 Author Share April 30, 2015 I placed him back to the display this morning he looked a lot better eating like a pig hopefully he gets through this Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite May 3, 2015 Share May 3, 2015 As someone else referred to coral stings, they often show up as black spots. It especially happens a lot with clownfish who decide to host in euphyllias for which they haven't yet built up a tolerance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
