    I noticed one of my damsels has this clear bubble thing on the tip of his pectoral fin... he's eating and acting normal so I don't know if its just something happened to it or he has ich.. I definitely do not want my tang to get this.. I make sure everything I feed them has garlic in it and they're all fat especially my tang.. so not sure if I should just keep an eye on it or pull him from the tank, even though I'm not so sure how I can accomplish that..

    Doesn't sound like what is commonly referred to as "Ich". Not sure without a photo what it might be. Catching a fish in a reef can be very difficult and stressful (for you and the fish, LOL).

    No kidding... I am already stressing over moving them all to a bigger tank..... It doesn't look like it, but I am always paranoid. I can see if it will stay put long enough to take a pic.

    LOL! This relaxing hobby of ours comes with a degree of stress and heartache at times. A photo would be very helpful if you can get one.

    Still working on a picture. It just appeared today. Its on the very tip and its about the size of a pin head if not a tad bigger..
