Can't be ich! Is it?

[taikoboi]

I shouldn't have ich or velvet because my fish came from a healthy aquarium and parasite free for over 4 years. But for some reason my starry puffer is covered with spots. Every other fish hasn't had a single spot on them even my blue tang. All my levels are excellent.

Here's a clip I took of him just now.

When was the last wet item added to the tank. Video is not clear enough for diagnosis.

The last thing I added was blue tang 5 months ago. He's still eating very well. He's been covered for about 2 weeks. If he's only one showing signs of spots could it be a bacterial infection?

What's on that fish isn't round like ich would be. It looks more like oblong creatures, possibly flatworms (flukes).

I wouldn't rule out some form of bacterial infection either but those look usually different and kill fish rather quickly, especially at such an advanced state.

I would try a freshwater or formalin dip to see if it is flukes.

Agreed with suggestions. Picture definitely precludes ich as the cause.
