Missing Scales

[connors]

Currenlty I have my tank in hyposalinity to treat Ich. I have a yellow tang and coral beauty. All the levels in the tank are great and the fish seem to be doing really well . . . .except . . .
The Coral Beauty(Dupont) seems to missing scales behind his fins. He is swimming, eating, and acting totally normal. I unfortunately cannot post a picture.
Any thoughts???????
Thanks so much!

Hey, welcome to Saltwaterfish.com! Did you learn about hypo here? Just wondering since you're a new member.
I would say that the scale problem is likely due to the parasite itself [embedded there]. This should clear up. Keep a close eye out though, as sometimes fish develop secondary infections resulting from parasite wounds.
