    Hey guys,

    This morning when I woke up, I was shocked to see white spots on my Coral Beauty and Neon Goby.

    I emphasize "shocked" because up until last night, I hadn't seen any spots at all on them. In fact, maybe you guys can clear this up for me.... is this specs of salt/substrate on them, or is it Ich? If it is Ich, how come the clowns haven't gotten it yet.

    I haven't ever had much luck with curing Ich in my freshwater tanks and I can't imagine how much harder this must be in Saltwater, any tips? I cannot upload any pics right now, but neither fish is showing any immediate signs of stress...... :eek:


    2 Weeks ago I added this Coral Beauty. 3 Days ago, I added a Yellow Leather Coral.

    29 Gallon Tank, CPR Protein Skimmer, 2x Acentic, 2x HO, 3 LEDS. 250W lightning. Green Bulb Anemone, 2 clowns, 1 Coral Beauty, 1 Neon Goby, 20 Lbs of live rock. Been running for 6-7 months maybe?

    Marine-Max by Tropical Science is still wise to use.
