okay, thank you so much. this is my first salt water tank so everything is new to me...i try not to be a big pain in the butt lol
 
anyone else have any suggestions? it's still losing its black color around its face, head, and fins....and sometimes there looks like theres little white stripes up near its top back fin.....if it was brook, shouldn't it of died by now? i've been treating it with ich-x because that's all the medicine i can get my hands on here...it's really hard to get a picture of since it moves around a lot....its acting normal, eating fine, nothing looks wrong except it's color and sometimes looks like white stuff up by its top fin...i'm so lost and dunno wat to do anymore

Ich-x has malachite green in it, or at least it used to. That can act as a toxin if you dose more days than the instructions say to.

when i googled it it says this
Purpose and Benefits
Aquarium Solutions Ich-X SW is a convenient, pre-diluted, formulation of formalin (37% formaldehyde solution) which is universally recognized as an effective medication for the treatment and control of diseases in saltwater aquarium fishes caused by fungi, protozoa and certain metazoans. When used as directed, Aquarium Solutions Ich-X SW will control or prevent diseases of fishes caused by the following disease organisms: Cryptocaryon (saltwater "Ich"), Amyloodinium, the common external fungal infections, certain external bacterial infections and diseases caused by monogenea and digenea.

I haven't been doing it every day since this has been going on. I haven't been doing it every day since I posted this. I'd do it for 3 or 4 days and then skip a day.

Good, they apparently don’t have malachite green in their formulation any more. Formalin can be acutely toxic, but it doesn’t build up in their tissue. Sorry, I can’t see anything in the photos....

i'm so lost on what to do or what to think...i have it outta my main tank cuz i'm afraid if it has something to nuke my whole tank :(
 
Maybe move all fish to quarentine and monitor and let the DT fallow for the recommended days? How many days that is unbeknownst to me lol
