Sick Banggai

[DavinD]

All,

I have 2 Banggai Cardinals. One of them stopped eating about a week ago. Today I noticed that where his pectoral fin meets the body appears red and/or inflamed. Here is a picture. The other Cardinal is still eating well. These are the only 2 fish in a 90 gallon reef with mostly soft corals.

Parameters are as follows

PH 7-8 - 8.1
Sal 1.023
Amm 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate ~5 - 10

I run Phosban and Carbon in 2 separate Phosban reactors

This fish did not make it. I would still like to get some opinions as someone else may be able to learn from this.

Looks like a bacterial infection maybe
