Ok, I am at aloss for what to do. I have a 55 RT. inhabitants are:
1 Yellow Tang
1 Maroon Clown
1 Banana wrasse
1 Blue Devil Damsel
1 SeaBay Anonome
1 poylp Colony
1 Flame Scallop
a bnunch of crabs
40 lbs of LR (which I am contunally adding to)
and 15 or so Turbo Snails
and last by not least my Tomini Surgeon
The Tank itself is 8 weeks old, and fully cycled. I moved the environment from my 35 hex, including all rock, water, filters substrate 8 weeks ago, so the tank can be considered older than 8 weeks.
My water conditions test well. No traces of nitrates or nitrites or amonie and my PH is at 8.0.. I can confirm these results if nessicary, its been a week or so since ive tested.
Now for the story
My Tomini, about 2 weeks ago started developing what looked like a mark from the yellow tang. I thought id just keep an eye on it.. Well after two weeks of keeping an eye on it, the mark has yet to get better and recently its looking worse. His behaviour is good. He eats like a champ is fairly social with the outside world. He does rub the spot up on the rocks. He had a touch of ich in the last two weeks...it has come and gone with out treatment. The attached picture showes the spot on his upperleft hand shoulder.
A: shows the big spot in question.. its kinda dark, he scales have turned up alittle near it, it seems to be swelled a touch, and has a white very faint film over it.. the film looks like a bubble sort of.
b: shows two spots that appeared this morning on his body, also dark.. I wonder if its spreading?
C: shows some cloudy spots on his fins where he had some Ich.
I do not have a QT, nor will I be getting one any time soon (Kinda Broke)..
Please Comment on what steps I might want to take to save this fish. I believe, untreated, he will die.
Thanks
