I have a
yellow watchman goby in my 10 gal nano. He has been in the tank about 2 weeks. I noticed the other day that a small area on his back, behind his head and right in front of his dorsal fin, has turned white. I also saw him rub on the sand and rock last night, although this is the first time i have seen him do the scratching. He is still eating and looks fine otherwise. I tested all parameters except calcium and carbonate hardness and all levels are fine, in fact i think the water is in the best condition since the tank was set up. This is the only fish in the tank. Could this be a vitamin deficiency or something? I feed every other day. The foods i alternate with are flake, frozen mysis soaked in Kent Zoe, frozen brine soaked in Zoe, Kent Phyto (i know this is not for fish),
shrimp pellets. I hope someone here will be able to help me out, reefcentral and nano-reef.com haven't been much help.
Sean if you read this its the same goby i got from you. He has been perfectly healthy, except for the white area. Ever run into this?
