Lymphocistis?????

[Feet4Fish]

This popped up in the dorsal fun of my queen about two weeks ago. To me it looks likes lymphocytis. What do you all think! Fish shows no ill effects.

Looks like lympho. Add some vitamins, but should go in its own

Highly recommend using Beta-Glucan to help suppress Lymphocystis. More info: https://reefs.com/magazine/beta-glucan-as-an-immune-stimulant-in-marine-aquaria/

In the article the suggest adding 0.1% of Beta Glucan during the prep of frozen food. Everything I can find is capsules. Once I get the powder out do you know how I would determine 0.1%? Do you have any other dosing recommendation? Thanks!

I mix 1/2 capsule with 7-8 assorted frozen fish cubes. Allow the cubes to "slump" in the fridge. Strain off the excess liquid as it will spike your nitrates and phosphates. Then add the 1/2 capsule + enough RODI or tank water to the consistency you like to work with. Can also add Focus if you desire an even thicker mix. The mix will stay good in the fridge for 3-4 days of feeding.

Perfect! Thanks!!!
