Help please!

I have a foxface for over 3 years now. He is fat, and healthy.
I just noticed these Marks on him today.
Nothing has changed in the tank for over a month now. No fishes were added either.

I've never seen anything like this! Poor guy!

#mods can we get this moved to the fish disease section?

#reefsquad Anyone else familiar with this?

 

[Crabs McJones]

Oh no! Poor little fella! Is he being picked on by any of the other fish in the system? Does he have this only on the one side of his body or both?

Only one side! The other side its perfect. No one pics on him! He is the boss here

ops! Wrong section?

 

[JaimeAdams]

That is indeed very odd... Did he fall asleep in an anemone or something?
Let's try this @Humblefish @melypr1985

I dont think so

Possibly a secondary bacterial infection

Not a problem. We have a fish disease section which will help get the right eyes on it faster, but the mods can move the post easily enough.

 

[aquatony]

So much coralline. The fish are growing it too!! Lol just kidding

 

[Brew12]

Possibly a secondary bacterial infection

I agree with the bacterial infection. If there were any indication of it getting worse I would put it in a hospital tank with Metroplex, Kanaplex and Furan 2 to hit it with as broad a spectrum of antibiotics as possible. If it isn't getting worse, I would just watch it as closely as possible.

Wish I could give you more confident advice but this one is new to me.

@Maritimer ? Thoughts?

 

[MSB123]

I had this on my copper and when my lionfish would pick on him, the small marks would then get infected- I hope he gets better!

Thank you guys! I will wait until tomorrow. If it doesnt get better I will treat him with medications.

My Kole Tang showed with spots smaller than these about a week ago. He was fine a day or so later.

 

[Maritimer]

Moved to "Fish Disease Treatment and Diagnosis" forum.

I've never seen anything quite like this. Hoping @Humblefish, @melypr1985, @ngoodermuth or others on the #reefsquad can offer some insight.

It looks better today! He is still eating like a pig! Swiming like nothing ever happened to Him.

Could that be from a urchin?
