welcome to RC & to LIRA!
try to search in the forums for red spots, I personally have no experience with "red spots" only black, white & brown.
also, you might want to consider going to another LFS.
good luck!

If your looking for customer service i would recommend Joe at suffolk fish and reef in ronkonkoma (although a little pricy), And Les at Fishy Inc in bayshore. But in my experience just because someone owns or works in a fish store does not make them the all knowing source of information about fish. Don't get me wrong they can be a huge help, but you have the experience and opinions of thousands of people here, rather than just one. I never had red spots, but i did have a problem with new fishing dying and someone reccomended a UV sterilizer and i havent had a problem since, might just be coincidence. good luck.

I personally Like Aquahut for drygoods but Don gets very busy and has a tough time giving advice. Les is awesome at Fishy INC, I really like going to him when I am in that area! I don't think you can beat the health of the fish at Suffolk County Fish and Reef, although like someone above said they are a bit pricy.. When I buy a fish that I plan on keeping for a long time $10-$15 extra really isn't a big deal to me.
Good luck, we are lucky to have so many stores out here

I've started going to a LFS in Massapequa. It's a fairly new store and the owner, Sheng, is really helpful. His prices aren't bad and his livestock looks healthy to me. I got a tongue coral and a plate coral from him and they're doing great. The phone number is 516-798-3940. He gives a discount to reef club members, too.
Bill, if I knew you helped for beer, I could have saved a small fortune and probably some nice fish, too! But we're in Bethpage, not Sayville.

Do you have any fish currently showing those symptoms? If so ,a good picture would be well worthwhile or since I'm currently working in Sayville myself, I could be bribed with good beer to stop by and take a look
mmmmmm Beeer
