@HotRocks @4FordFamily,

Been 43 days since yellow tang, purple tang, blue hippo tang were transferred from copper into sterile tank. I thought at one point couple weeks ago I saw maybe two white specs on purple, and though I may have cross contaminated, now I'm not so sure. They have a little HLLE going on, but not sure about maybe ich.

Blue hippo or yellow I've never seen any spots, that I can recall.

Would you assume at this point, if ich was back in the tank, that it would be very noticeable or pronounced, especially with a apparent "ich magnet" like a blue hippo.

I'm contemplating either back in copper, or just transfer.

I can’t make out any ich and with HLLE that severe I’d feed nutritious foods (soak in selcon, Zoe, vita chem, etc) and wait it out see what happens. Cross contaminating is possible depending on your practices but I don’t see anything (though the photos don’t make it easy).

Not all white spots are ich, some can be injuries, flukes, etc. If they stay in same spot for 3-5 days then drop off they may be ich. If they move around slowly, flukes. If they stay longer and/or become more pale or less noticeable, it could be something else.

They've been through prazi, so no flukes. I'm pretty atiment with my practices. So I honestly think unlikely of a cross, but ya never know I guess. I do soak nori with selcon.

I literally only saw two spots, only once in 43 days? So I dont know lol...ugh.
