Hello reef community!! After loosing half my fish to ICH and/or Velvet I decided to pull all the survivors out and start a Hospital tank. I'm leaving my DT fallow till October.
I've been dosing copper in my QT since July 14th and have only lost two additional fish in QT, one being my favorite my Sailfin Tang..RIP.
On to the question. In the photos below I've noticed some discoloration on my Coral Bueaty and my Yellow Tang in he face area. I've planned on doing copper for 30 days. Should I be concerned and stop treating copper in favor of some other treatment or just ride out the copper treatment?
There has been no loss of appetite in either fish since they acclimated to copper. They are both still active during the day.
It's a 40 gallon QT. The only parameters I've tested are copper and ammonia which is zero.
I did the best I could on the photos. They were all over the tank.
Bonus question anyone know what the black spots are on the cleaner shrimp. I've had a pair them for six months and each of them get it. They come and go with each molt
Any and all advise is appreciated.
