Please help Naso tank not eating

[Reef Newbe]

Hi all

please help with my fish. He cannot eat because in his mouse seem to be white stuff in it. He seem to try to eat but then he spit it out, seem painful for him. Also the body has white as well. He is inside my hospital tank right now and I try to feed him with a Syringe. Thanks for the help.

These appear to be microbial cysts which are located under the outer skin layers of the naso resulting in white lesions and bumps which resembles a small white dot or grain of salt appearance but is actually brooklynella and to your surprise, its not only clowns that get Brooklynella. Some signs you should seeing are rapid gill movements, fish staying close to the surface of the tank and trying to scratch on objects. To follow, you may see loss of appetite, acting lethargic and fading coloration as shown in your picture.
The most effective treatment for this will be a formalin bath for 30-60 minutes depending on the severity of the outbreak.
After this bath keep treating with lower formalin concentrations and if fish is eating , you can offer it seachem metroplex with focus as a binder to food in a quarantine tank for 10-14 days.
For formalin, I would prefer to use Ruby Rally Pro in this situation but quick cure will also work.
IF and IF fish is not highly stressed and breathing rapidly, you can give it a 4-5 minute freshwater dip with tap the same temperature as the display tank. If you have baking soda, add a pinch to the tap water for Ph control but not critical.
I say if as FW dip will add to the stress. Also increase aeration in the tank when treating.
Beautiful Blonde naso otherwise

Sorry, I can’t tell what this is. A short video might help.

I see oval countable grayish to white “spots” intermingled with some serious scratch marks, so I think Ick, super common.
If you agree, I’d put him into Hypo (1.009) and see if we can kill them.
