Looks like ick to me.. Mine had the same issue, he's in QT now getting a 14 day copper treatment. Spots are gone after 3 days..

He doesn't like being in QT at all..

Hi @reeflover , @Big G was help in the duplicate thread. He was think physical injury I think. Does look more like discoloring, but I am far from the diseases guy. Just wanted to mention dup thread

Hard to tell what's going on from those pics.

The large dark spots could be the discolorations you see on fish when they scrape up against things.

IME the light coloration can be caused by lots of things. I see it in my foxface whenever it's slightly stressed. Could be another fish harassing it. Fish may also have light coloration when they are sick (like an infection) or have parasites (ich, velvet, etc.).

Also, I can see the ridge of the fish's spine. This tells me the fish is undernourished and doesn't have enough body weight.

Mine looked exactly like that where the parasites were attached. Now that they are gone, those spots are gone.

I can’t see anything definitive in these photos s. Discoloration could be injury or parasites.
