    Hey Everyone,

    Just wanted to try to get a quick answer about an issue I saw on my Coral Beauty last night. As you can see in the pictures below- he has a large (relative term) white spot on tip of his right fin. IAs far as I can tell the spot looks a little fuzzy when I try to look at it closely. He seems to be in perfect health, otherwise- he eats welland is still very active. Anyone have any idea what it is and how to treat it?

    I tried to get the best photo I could, but he is pretty quick and uses the fin to swim, making it move around even more.

    Well, I just looked in the tank when I got home tonight and no more white spot on his fin...I have no idea what it was or where it went, but it is gone now.
