Please help identify!

Hello,

Yesterday I purchased a pair of True Perculas. Today I noticed that the smaller one has three tiny specs on it (see below). I worry that this might be ich or some other disease but really hope that it is nothing.

Can you please help me identify this and suggest a plan of attack if it is in fact something bad. Perhaps it will go away on its own?

Sence you just purchsed them just keep a eye on them and be sure they are eating! And kind of go from there ! Nice looking clown BTW

 

[rob020880]

Both of the clowns are eating well. What should I be looking for?

if they are not eating and/or if they are rubbing up against rocks

His lower fin is a little jagged too. Should I worry about this and take any action? Looks like it may have been bitten or had trouble in a net somewhere. Is there a disease that effects the fins?

It is probably just some damage from the shipping. Overall, I would say that your fish looks really good. I doubt you will have any trouble. Those are spots of ich but these fish are very resilient to it.

Are you quarantining this fish? What are you feeding it?

 

[rob020880]

I did not quarantine unfortunately. I am feeding it rods food and frozen prime reef cubes. They are eating very well, but yesterday at night I realized that the larger clown was biting the smaller ones lower fins, is this a cause for concern?

 

[JamesJR]

I would not be too concerned. This may be part of the pairing up process where the larger fish is asserting dominance over the other fish.
