I get up for work on wednesday Turn onthe tank light like I always do and Look at my Tomato Clown. He has White fuzzy Spots all over him. He was not like that the night before. I go to work and Call BF to have him Check on tank he says the white spots are still on the clown told him to call LFS to see if they would know what they are. LFS said that clown is stressed out and it is a fungal infection ont catchy to other fish told him to buy some stuff to treat tank. He calls me back and I asked him if he reminded the LFS that I have crabs and a Starfish and Shrimp in the tank He said No. LFS mentioned that maybe something was picking on him. All I have for fish in there is a Foxface added with clown and 2 damsels 1 yellowtail and 1 blue. I have not seen anyone picking on each other.
When I get home the white Spots are all gone from the clown. and he now has a odd looking sheen to him almost metallic white in nature. And he was eating and swimming fine. So I get up this am and he still has that sheen and a couple of small white spots. I have to go to LFS today anyway so I am going to ask them about it but I am not sure I can dose tank with star fish etc in there.
I do not currently have a qt tank. I thought maybe If I bought a 10 gal and set it up but I would not have time to cycle it or anything. So i am in a dilemma here. Not sure what to do and I could use some advice.

LFS Store said I could try and Freshwater Dip him. Read about that in Fenners book also. I am looking at buying a 10 gal tank kit (comes with filter, Hood, light) not sure if Im supposed to add live rock in QT Tank though
white Spots are all gone now but still has that sheen to him. He ate some today but keeps hiding alot.

what i would do is get that 10 gal setup... and set up a qt tank.... put some cured LR from your display in there or buy cured lr. Put him in there and do a hyopsalinity treatment. Post this on the deasese forum as well, beth is prettty good about this type of things

I did and It looks more Like brooklynella? So I am buying the 10 gal tank tomorrow and will fill with Water from my tank and some rock rubble. Then transfer The clown. I am currently Printoing the FAQs from Disease board and Will Hope he survives.
Hoping this does not affect Foxface and damsels
wish me luck
