That fuzzy white patch on your fish? It might not be what you think.
Fungal infections in saltwater systems are rareโbut when they show up, theyโre usually a red flag that something deeper is wrong.
Whether itโs stress, injury, poor water quality, or a secondary infection taking hold, true fungus (not bacterial look-alikes) demands quick actionโand a proper diagnosis.
โข How to tell the difference between fungus and bacterial infections
โข What conditions allow fungus to take hold in marine systems
โข Proven treatments that are reef-safe (and which to avoid)
โข Prevention strategies to stop future outbreaks
โข Pro tips for quarantine, wound care, and recovery
Before you reach for the nearest bottle, make sure you know what youโre dealing with. Fungus may be uncommonโbut itโs not unbeatable.
