It actually looks like it is growing on the fish. In the first set of pictures it is hard to see but in person looked like it was part of the fish. I'm no where close to an expert but could the fire shrimp or cleaner shrimp have done that to whatever it is trying to get at it? He is constantly trying to get to the cleaner shrimp to get... Serviced.
Here is everything I know... And today's picture. Thanks for any help Beth. I am new to this.
This is/isn't a new tank. I had a 75 for about 5 years but didn't have much money. So I had live rock and 2 fish forever. Well I just finally was able to get back into the hobby and got a 90 gal. (2 Months ago). I used half of the same water and all the live rock and cc. I didn't cycle but I did get a slight hair algea bloom that is now coming under control and going away.

He is still very active and eats. I've been feeding him spirinala (dried) with extreame garlic, because I have heard that helps. (Not sure?)
Thank you all.
