I think velvet is in my display

[Kzang]

I don't know how this happened. It looks like velvet? Powdery instead of like ich. I TTMed and QTed my fish. All were happy and healthy in QT.

And I can't even catch one out of my 8 fish. They are all eating. Blue tang is covered. Yellow Tang has it on fins. Wrasses and clowns look fine but scratch.

I don't know what to do. All my rockwork is glued together and I don't think I can grab any of them, especially right now

Only thing wet I added was corals last night

Any pics?

Any pics?

I couldn't get a pic. I tried. Lights are off and blue tang already hid from me trying to net it

I got two 10g and 1 20g, but I don't think it will be big enough for 8 fish. I got cupramine but I can't catch any of the fish

I’d get a fish trap

If your velvet diagnosis is correct, you have little time left, velvet attacks the gills and kills fast, say 48-72 hours.

When this happened to me (same situation, many fish refused the trap, glued rockwork weighing hundreds of pounds) I emptied the water out until I could catch them. Be sure to move your corals, or keep them wet/moist while exposed.

Well, I got some BRS diy screen and going to use that to section off the tank little by little. Getting a beer before I try. The tangs look decent right now. Wrasse and clowns show no signs. I just trying to think how I can make sure the blue tang doesn't hide in it's cave rock spot. She camps right in between 4 glued rocks
