Hi -
I have a tang that I have had for a few months. She eats really well and doesn't seem to be sick or anything but she got this weird thing on her fin, then it transferred to her body. Its like a big white growth with two little white dots next to it. Doesn't appear to be ICH- and its not on any other fish, and again she is still eating and acting totally normal- its been there for about 4 days now....but she definitely wants this thing off. I figured it was a parasite so I got a cleaner wrass - it picks at her eyeballs but doesn't seem to do much regarding this growth - so I got a cleaner shrimp - and he doesn't seem to want to pick at her (not yet anyway - just got him-- ((Might be because he is (rightly) afraid of getting eaten by my fuzzy dwarf lion fish.)) Either way i really don't want to lose this fish she is great and seems really strong (the pics are a little blurry she is fast but she has clear eyeballs and is totally healthy besides this thing). Anything I can do??
Tank is 28 gallon, been set up for about 2 years - I do bi-weekly water changes and the salt and PH levels are all perfect. Everything else in tank is very healthy. HELP!
