Lighting Maroon fuzz growth

[sante21079]

215 gallon with powder blue, hippo tang, clown tang and lightning maroon pair. Female lighting maroon has always been off ..... Has had fuzzies on the tips of fins and color is off, male clown is fine. Other fish are showing signs of lymph, nothing else..... has been like this off and on for a few weeks. Whats the general consensus?

How long have you had the fish?
Have you tried any treatments yet?

2 months, copper power, but had to back off due to powder blue.

It is a FOWLR so I can dose in tank if need be.

Flukes or Brook ?

2 months, no treatment.

Can you rule out that this isn’t Lymphocytis? The timing and chronic nature add up, I’ve seen it finely spread on fin edges before (as opposed to bigger lumpish growths).

I really can't rule it out. The powder blue and clown trigger both have normal lymphocytis.

I always assume the worst, so I have toyed with the idea of Brook. The clowns came from Sustainable aquatics, the clown trigger and hippo tang came from Dr. Reef Quarantine fish and the powder blue came from someone local who got it from live aquaria..... the hippo tang had some stuff on him kinda similar to what's going on with the clown.
