well my RG is scraping on rocks/glass/shrooms. He was doing it for a few minutes but appears to have stopped. I don't see any ick or anything else on him. However there was some stringy thing stuck to his head that seems to be gone.
I might be worrying a bit much but could he have been jsut trying to get that thing off or is it more likely some pest on him?
He is the newest fish just in there a few days. He eats great and is usually swimming around out of his cave.

Okay thank you!

In my experience the ick always take few days before you can see the white spots.
Ick is a small tiny microscopic parasites, it will not show right away.
you might want to treat him for ick, I have had good experiance with kick ick it's reef safe.
good luck.

thanks both of you.
He seems to have stopped scratching and he is eating great.
If I see those damned spots start to come I'll treat it!

but yeah once that stringy thing fell off I think he stopped.
so that's good, I'll watch him
