White spots on fin copper band

proxy001 · Jul 20, 2020

Hello reefers,

My fairly new copper band has some hazy white spot on one fin. Rest of the body is fine.
My blue spotted had exactly the same presentation, going from one fin to the other before eventually subsiding.
A bit of context: One of my anthias had pop eye, so I just treated the whole tank with Focus+metroplex+kanaplex.
Copperband is acting fairly normally for a newly introduced one: he won't eat anything artificial but spends his days eating things off the rock and sand.

What is your best guess? Ich? lymphocystis?

Thank you !!

Thank you. I search threads and was shocked at the amount of similar presentation in copper bands.
Thank you again

Thats what happens to my puffer as well. Went away after going from fin to fin.

Also helps that they’re among the hardiest butterflies. I’m definitely getting 2-3 for my tank. If 1 large wrasse then 2, if all small wrasses then 3.

To the OP, if it’s Lympho then just keep up your water parameters and feet it good food and it should go away.

Thanks , but as new copper band he is on his own feeding schedule and menu... meaning, it eats what he finds not I give him
