Splotches on my yellow wrasse

[brett559]

I have a big yellow wrasse. Got him when he was tiny about 2 years ago. He's big and fat now. He's getting the green marks on his face and everything.

Yesterday I turned my blue lights all the way up to see my corals pop and in the blue light I noticed the wrasse had all these splotches all over his body. Like all over. It's hard to see them under normal lights.

Any idea what that could be? Ich maybe? I've never once seen his scratch against the rocks or sand. His gills and fins are all fine. Seems perfectly healthy to me.

Any ideas?

Sounds like black ich to me. Look at the skin and you should see pepper like dots on the fish. The areas are easier to see in the blue light because these black dots are Turbellarians that explode to reproduce. Get some prazipro. It is reef safe. I had to double dose and it took three treatments.
