Diamond watchmen goby has strange red dots

[Armani]

So I bought a new goby 5 days ago and I’ve been looking at it closely, and I noticed under its right fin he has two red dots (perfect circles, I thought part of Pattern) but on the left of it he has it seems like skin coming off almost looks kind of bubbly, it’s hard to get a clear pic of it because it’s kind of like clear it seems like he’s shedding it off but I can’t tell if it’s a disease or skin comin off but the red dots next to it made me think what can it be? Anyone know? Does yours have red dots too?

No but that’ll be my next purchase

Keep an eye on the dots cause if they are bites they can get infected. The reason I asked is cause they look like a claw stings

I do have two emerald crabs, I haven’t seen them fight or anything maybe when the lights are off they are going at it? But they are perfect little circles like his pattern idk it’s weird

Tough to tell. How long did it take to look as it does here?

Watch for infections, I’d source kanaplex, metroplex, and furan 2 and a quarantine. If you can find NFG it’s even better.

I’m not sure if it was there when I first got him but I just noticed it, it’s only been a few days since of got him i added him and the emerald crabs at the same time, I’ll try to get a better pic Tomorrow if I can.

If it worsens by tomorrow treat fast, you won’t have much time.

So I just got home to check on him n it seems like it’s some sort of parasite and it’s growing, please tell me what to do I just got him I want to save him n keep my clownfish and emerald crabs alive and well

 

[Armani]

It’s hanging off his skin near his gills not covering but just right behind them. I just fed him he’s eating and acting fine but I know this is not good do I need to quarantine him and clean the whole tank now? What should I buy to treat it? It’s like little swirly worms it seems

This happened to mine too. Not sure what's the cause of it
