Confused_reefer Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 I recently lost my coris wrasse, and now my adorned wrasse is covered in the same white spots that killed the coris. Both wrasses first presented with a white lump under the one pectoral fin, large-ish, that seemed to slightly hinder swimming. Eventually they were covered in spots, lethargic, hovered in a corner. The coris wrasse eventually became very ill, floating along with current, not staying upright, laying on sand, but the white spots disappeared. This went on for days and I finally pulled him to put him out of his misery. Hoping someone cen help me understand what this is so I can save my other wrasse. From what I can tell, this isnt ich or velvet, not flukes, not anything I can find info on. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefrun Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 Maybe it’s some sort of bacterial thing? I’m far from an expert though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eatfrenchfries Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 It looks like mucus plugs. I concur with a bacteria / viral infection. Your best best would be to find the environmental stressor that triggered the event. Second would be to boost the immune system. Broad antibiotics is best in a separate tank. How did you rule out ich and velvet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
