couple weeks ago I had my male clown come down with ich, almost 100% certain it was ich too. I put him in a HT and he is doing fine now, removed him 3 days ago (10 days in HT).

Well, last night I noticed my female had two red spots/sores on her chin. She has this thing with a mushroom rock I have where she picks at it, and it looks like an abbraision more than anything.

I have read about red spots showing up from brook, but I thought that would only be around the Gill area...

is that right or do I have a brook outbreak? I can't think of anything that would cause the outbreak other than maybe being stressed out from her buddy being gone for so long....

water params are very stable, and my first sps coral extended all of its polyps for the first time last night.

Please help.
 
I don't think it's Brook, brook is faded patches on the skin. Your fish sounds like it has been stung by the mushroom it's been picking at. Mushrooms can produce toxins that irritate.
 
Thank you for your help. I went home last night and the red spots are clearing up and she is no longer hanging out around the rock...guess she's concerned with ther appearance.
