I have a buddy who is a dartfish/tilefish fanatic! I forget how many he has, buts it's more than I've ever seen in a tank. It's a sight. Here is a sideways video:

Any chance you could turn the phone when recording the video? It'd give us a better resolution to look at the bump.
For now, guess is lymphocystis.

Nice Duke I see you got one [emoji1474]I don't know about the spot I gave both of mine two hits of prazi during qt

If the white spot is protruding it can be lymphocystis, if not, than it may just be a damaged scale or the beginning of hlle. I really can't tell from the video.

Well my new social fairy jumped straight out of my acclimation box into the DT during feeding. I guess next time I will have a separate top for the box so it's not open when my screen top is off...
So far all is well though. The melenurus flared up on him, but that's all. My orchid dottyback gave him a little chase, but only near his cave. Hope he does good, he got the "introduction" and I learned another lesson.

I sand down all the edges no sharp edges on none of my boxes. But I do understand your worries.

So my ruby head is still hiding and being very timid. Last night i went to feed him and after opening the cover he went on the floor, I cannot figure out why he is so stressed. Has anyone experienced this before in QT?

I usually see my wrasse on the floor in the qt the first day to second after that they are usually swimming around or hiding in the pvc but I don't have a ruby head.

What's the time frame in again?

Are there any other fish in the tank with him? Some fish get very stressed w/o other fish around. In the wild, if no fish are out and about, it is usually a sign that there is a predator nearby. He doesn't know there is not a predator in the tank.

Gotten a few glimpses of him today and the spot is gone, also he looked more blue than red now. Suspecting flukes and will dose a 2nd round of Prazipro on Wednesday.

About like this pic but he's not out. My little mccosker goes 2 the hole where he is and he will come out and chase for a second then return back to the hole.
