What's wrong with my blenny??

[mlott132]

I was looking through my tank today and noticed something on my bicolor blenny. It looks like an white outline of a circle and there is a little red in the center. I tried to take a picture of it and this is the best I could do for now. It is located right where its color changes. Any ideas??

Here is a better pic of what I am seeing.

From the pics it looks like ich but from the description your giving it sounds like some type of flesh parasite, which can be treated with maracyn 2. Maracyn 2 is reef safe from IME dosing it a couple times in my 55g reef due to bad livestock in my LFS and not having room for a QT tank in my room. There's 2 types the one for freswater and the one for sw. The only difference that I could find between the 2 is the sw one is more concentrated and has vitamin-c. But I use the fw one cause its cheaper and didnt turn my tank water yellowish green.

sorry, but i'm not so sure about treating the dt with maracyn. i believe that is an antibacterial and will destroy your bio filter...i would wait for more input befor treating dt with maracyn. doesn't look at all like ich to me.

Whatever it is it does not seem to be bothering him. He is acting completely normal. The only other thing I can think is that he got bit by something.
