Not sure why I have not noticed this in the last few days, but one of my wrasse looks like it has mange? (I think thats only a dog term,lol) but does appear to be missing some flesh? Any thoughts? Eating well and very active. @humblefish

Something is clearly damaging his scales, but I'm unsure if it is a disease or something else. I noticed you have some euphyllia corals. Does he sleep within striking distance of their sweepers??
 
Some of the fairy wrasse I get into the shop will develop this despite therapeutic levels of copper and prazi being dosed. I haven't saved one with it yet as they seem to die very quickly after showing symptoms. I've been trying acriflavin dips followed by antibiotics, but they don't live long enough for the antibiotics to do their thing. I'm hoping for another (as bad as that sounds) so I can try a few other things I have in mind.
