You may want to stock up on different algae sheets. I had been feeding mine the green sheets (ocean vegetables, regular nori etc) and a month ago ordered red and brown sheets too and I alternate those on daily basis. The red one is by far their favorite and a nice size chunk is gone in under 5 minutes between a large FoxFace, Hippo and Yellow Tangs, Bellus Angel and even my Wrasse goes for it.

Is there a specific brand to buy, or can any probe work?
I have these:
- Julian Sprung's Sea Veggies
- Sally's Seaweed Salad (brown marine algae)
- Sally's Seaweed Salad (Red marine algae)
- regular nori from your grocery store

NO, I was not going to treat for ich, I was just browsing thru a site and read that this can be used as a "Prevention" for ich and some other diseases.
I don't know if you read my earlier posts..when I first got my raccoon butterfly a few weeks ago it had lymphocystosis.....Well I did what was suggested and the raccoon no longer has it...as a matter of fact this raccoon steals food from my hands when I feed my ray, and is a very playful and seemingly happy fish....anyway, I now notice what looks like a "lympho" spot on my copperband (they came together by the way). So I am going to continue what I have been doing....Unless you have other suggestions.
I ordered my grounding probe last night too.

It's a bummer to see someone who goes this far to provide their fish with excellent meals and the fish still develop HLLE.

EXACTLY!!!! I am trying so hard to do everything right (still have a way to go with equip)

Lymphocystis requires no medication. The addition of vitamins to the food as well as a balanced diet and pristine water parameters are all that is needed.

Is it something that can go from fish to fish?
It is a viral infection and is contagious but if the other fish are healthy and have a high immune system then the chances of them getting it are slim.
