She has been in my tank (72 gal) for a year now. No problems, other than bullying my clarki (that is twice her size). She has become quite shy over the last couple of months & not as agressive for food. She lets the others eat & hangs out behind the rocks & waits for scraps. Now, to the point. We were out of town for 3 days & this a.m. I noticed she had what looked like crusty spots, one on her pectorial (sp?) fin & 2 or 3 on each side of her body. After futher investigation, they are not actually spots, but the areas are kind of concave, like some scales are missing. The pec fin is the same. I will try to post some pics, but I seem to have a problem on this site. Can anyone tell me what this is??? Her color is good & she was actually more agressive for food this a.m., jumping in w/ the rest of them for a bite. I feed pellets soaked in garlic once a day, ocassionally mysis. Nori 2-3 times a week. Getting her out & into QT will most likely require me breaking down my entire tank ( I have 4 btas that are finally happily attached the very large rocks) Help!
Coral Beauty w/ spots: not ick or velvet

I cannot get pics to post due to their file size. I have posted a couple of pics on photobucket. It doesnt seem like I will get a response since I have only seen 3 or 4 people on this forum all day, but I tried to post in the correct forum. I have looked on the net & the only thing close is Velvet, but by the pics I have seen it is not the same. All my other fish are fine: clarki, yellow tang, regal tang, maroon clown, 6 line wrass & a yellow watchman gobie. 4 btas (2 from splts), several soft corals, hawian feather duster, many tiny feather dusters, 2 cleaner shrimps, snails, red legged hermits, a sally lightfoot crab & a purple hitch hicker crab (both I want out, but cant catch). Everything else is fine & happy except for a candycain. Can someone please help me save this fish?????????

30 minutes after you post the pictures requested and you come back with this? No wonder no body wants to help. For what its worth, with the very limited information you are willing to give; check out the following: Ick, Velvet, bacterial infections, fungal infections, flukes.... this covers the majority of infections fish get and most are cured by quarentine with copper or antibiotics. Good luck.
