Xj reefing Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 My blenny has two white spots on him that stick outwards. Sometimes he is black but sometimes he is striped this picture was taken when he was black. This has only shown up today so help asap would be great. Is this some sort of parasite/disease I should treat of is it part of stripe that hasn’t fully gone away? Quote Link to comment
Humblefish Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 So to be clear, these white things protrude outward from the fish’s skin? Not under the scales?? Quote Link to comment

Xj reefing Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I have Red Sea ab+. Will this work as well? Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I'm pretty sure that's a coral food, not a fish food. So, no, I doubt it will work as expected. Quote Link to comment
Xj reefing Posted August 3, 2020 Author Share Posted August 3, 2020 I think it is. Though it has vitamins in it Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Yes, it has vitamins for corals. I highly doubt the vitamin needs of corals and fish are the same. You need to be using vitamins that are intended to help boost a fish immune system, not growth and color in corals. Quote Link to comment
Xj reefing Posted August 4, 2020 Author Share Posted August 4, 2020 Ok. I don’t have any thing else on hand and I won’t be able to go to my lfs to get something until the weekend. I might send him a message and ask what he has as he does not have a website. The spots don’t look any worse so I am hoping that is good news Quote Link to comment

How long has he been in this tank (in case it's a different answer). Anything happen recently in the tank? Quote Link to comment
