so in my display I have a purple tang with 2.0 level of copper power (Hanna meter tested) for the past 3 weeks or so.

Over the past week he’s developed what looks like white blotches on bot my sides of body.

Tried taking pic, but leds wash it out.

It is not sprinkles like ich, and doesn’t look like velvet (other fish look fine, plus it’s been in copper for 3 weeks now)

The spots themself look to be about 15-20 on each side. They look like paint splatter of that makes sense. Like if you see a paint ball mark on a house or shed, you see the spot it hit, but Some points on the spot itself look brighter or thicker than others . In other words it’s not a solid spot, more like a if s bird rains down on your windshield from above.

I suppose flukes is a possibility, I can prazi the tank of that sounds about right.
 
Does it look like as if bleach was splattered on its body? I had that happen with my purple tang while I had it in qt and it went away after being placed into dt. My guess would be that it was due to being in qt and not the best water conditions.
 
Hasn’t changed in nearly a week . No peeling or melting of any kind. I put in prazi pro today, let’s see if that does it.


How long after dosing prazi should those marks go away? Been about an hour now, nothing falling off that I can see
If it's Brook prazi won't do anything to help. A pic uploaded to the site if the fish would speak 1000 words.
 
Best I have with LED’s
