Six line wrasse has white/opaque bumbs

Do you have a quarantine tank you can move him to?

Not saying it's going to happen but I'd hate to see whatever it is hit your other inhabitants.

I know im going to be hated on for this, but I do not have a qt tank. And yeah I know. That's what I'm worried about. He is super hard to catch. I'm trying to get him so I can do a fw dip to confirm if he has flukes.

It's never too late to set one up, Petco or PetSmart buy a small 10 gallon tank, small heater, small aquaclear hob... Can be done for about $75

Throw a sponge in your main tank for about a week to gather bacteria and just dose prime in the QT until the sponge is ready.

Then you can just empty it and store everything in a closet until you need it again.

Yeah I might do that. Thank you so much for everything. I really appreciate it

FW dip yes for 5 minutes in Tap water same temperature as display tank , and you will find starter kits at walmart have all the essentials needed for a QT tank.

Yes, the wrasse is fine. He only has a couple of the spots. I didnt really do anything. Just made sure I did my usual water change (10 % every week) and just fed good. Still don't know what it was lol. But everyone is happy.
