This has got to be the oddest disease that I have seen in my comet grouper. He was hidsing for about 5 days and then I saw him yesterday and shocked. Between his eyes and the top fin he has lost all his scales and it looks as if my hermit crabs had been eating away at where his brain would have been. The area is covered in a whitish film over what is left of his scales. I have treated the tank with primafix and despite as though he looks like half his brain is missing he is stillactive and eating. None of the other fish are showing any symptoms, although my damsel is swimming somewhat irratically (not unusal for this fish though). Any ideas?
The parametres are all normal ammonia .25 nitrite 0 and nitrate 20 ph 8.3. His tankmates are damsel, lawnmower blennie, sixline, flame hawk and a blue chin trigger. They have all been together for about 6 months and no recent changes of anything else.
This fish is excepionally hardy (lived through two ich bouts and never got a symptom) and hate to see it suffer.
