    ok so i have a lionfish and his scales seem to be disapearing on his right side. i have corals and they are unaffected by this phenomenon. all other fish are unnaffected by this thing. he is acting very weird and i am affraid he may die. thanks in advance.

    Maybe a silly question, but is he rubbing up against anything? Like he may be trying to scratch an itch?

    well that might be so. i also immediately thought of my emerald crab and my shrimp. he also isnt eating much so then i got worried.
