Help my Foxface!!!

[garychef1]

I have my foxface and 2 clowns in a QT tank because i believe they have ick, the clowns are doing fine but the foxface is loaded with white stains all over his body. Not white specs but his skin looks to have changed color. He is eating and is moving around a little but i was also able to pick him up. I put him in the QT yesterday with the clowns. Is there anything i should be worried about?

i am no expert but from what i have heard the foxface can go through drastic color changer durring acclimation, shipping, and high stress. he is probably under alot of stress with ick and the change between tanks!

OK, there are already no dots on the clowns and just a few dots on the faxface's tail. Does the hyposalinity usually work this good? All of the reef tankmates have no spots and are doing good. I am keeping of the MH light and running 2 fans to keep this baby runnin cool. Also, i might add that the thermometer directions said to stick it on the glass on facing the substrate. My thermometer is at the top of the tank where the hotter water is. So i am guessing the bttom of the tank is like 1 degree cooler.

The Foxface will change colors when stressed and at night. Mine looks horrible at times, but it's normal.

ok thanks. It seems that when i check on him sometimes there are a lot of spots and sometimes there are not.

Mine changes color alot espaecially when the lights first come on or go off. My wife actually likes his colors when he is trying to be camoflauged better than his natural colors.
