Is this normal for a Royal Gramma?

Are any fish nipping at it? Could be battle wounds

I fed Metro+Focus mixed with a cube of mysis and a few pellets. I usually only feed 1/3rd of a cube of mysis. Only one that didn't show up for dinner is the melanarus wrasse. He went to bed already.

How does everyone else look? Everyone else looks to have a regular belly Yeah?


I'll repeat tomorrow but with only half a cube or maybe some clam or LRS.

Removed a Kupang Damsel that was going to end up eating the Royal Gramma for lunch. It was definetly being harassed by the Kupang Damsel but spots showed up after. I did see my Melanarus wrasse charge at it a bit but I worked all day so not sure if they are fighting during the day.

You can also refrigerate or refreeze any medicated food you make.

I'd say it doesn't look any worse today. It's belly looks fine to me. What do you guys and gals think? Second day of metro+Focus coming up.

Spots appear to be gone today!

Not very good pics. I guess the Metro+Focus is helping suppress the ich!

I'll double check tomorrow under full whites. Maybe I just can't see them under the blues but pretty sure it's looking better already.

Royal Gramma seems to doing well. Barring any high stress events I think it and the rest of the fish are going to be just fine.

I'm not the best at catching fish in a way that doesn't involve live rock all over the living room lolol. Some people have success with traps, but this can take time or never work at all. I'm slightly worried that your damsel will harass the gramma to death before you can catch it using non-nuclear methods lol

I literally tore down my aquascape one time trying to get a stupid coral banded shrimp

Royal Gramma is looking as healthy as a horse!
