My purple tang that's in qt started showing whitish.. I won't say spots because I don't think it's Ick, more like patches maybe.. They look more like discoloration than anything growing outside like ich would appear. I couldn't upload a picture from my phone. Still eating well and acting normal.. There are several other fish in qt with him, was preparing for cupermine treatment for ich in display from powder blue.. I know pictures would help but if you have any guesses I'll research
 
Bump.. here is a picture from this morning..

ok.. could be I guess.. He's in a 40g breeder with several other fish getting ready to go through a cupermine treatment.

So you don't think its anything to be overly concerned out?
 
i think it's nothing to worry about. the fish's still trying to settle in the new enviroment. these spots will come and go depending on its mood. you should also get the more experienced members' opinions though. beautiful fish btw. good luck.
 
I had my purple get those but much bigger. I was treating for flukes. Once I stop medication it took a few weeks and they went away. Just keep the water quality good and feed well.

Ok thanks.. I just noticed them last night so they may increase in size. He just finished a prazi treatment and im starting cupermine this week
 
cant really tell if its the same thing.. im thinking its some sort of bacteria infection.. any recommendations on meds?
