Velvet, Crypto, or just frogfish coloration

[wiegs531]

Hey... cant tell if my frogfish has a disease or its just the coloration. It doesnt look good to me. Shes eating, shes acting normal (for frogfish), breathing normal. So no signs of distress but again, I dont know. Image attached
Thanks

I'm not familiar enough with frogfish to know if that's just normal coloration for them.

Was the fish quarantined before adding to the tank?

That's Ich. Sorry. :-(

Agreed. Looks like ich and I haven't seen a frog with that many tiny spots before. Hope he is in QT.

^^ Treating with copper is not a good option, as frogfish are scaleless. TTM would work, and according to what I'm reading online they handle Hyposalinity well. Not sure about CP, but since it's primary intended use was for scaleless fish who couldn't handle copper it may work.

I assumed the worst. Shes the only fish in the tank with some corals. Im gonna treat her with hyposalinity, in a separate tank obviously. Hope for the best.
