    Today I notice My royal Gramma has a white blotch under his front left fin, almost on its belly, and a mall patch on his right hand side almost on his tail fin.. I could not Get pictures, but found something online that looks just like it. My params are normal, hes been out and swimming normal, and eating fine.. So it doesnt seem to bother him, but it must of happened fast because I dont recall it being like that yesterday. Any ideas??

    It kinda looks like he may have just rubbed against some rock or something. If he is eating well and acting normal thats a great sign though. Maybe someone else will chime in with something though.

    It looks as though it has scraped against something to me.
