I have a mimic tang that has had a bump under his skin on the side for about 4 weeks.. its been slowly looking like its working its way out of his body. yesterday i noticed that it has actually broken his skin. its right on his Lateral Line so im thinking it may be HLLE but its also only on one...

I have a 5inch Male Blue Jaw TriggerFish that was fine up until a month ago. He had one eye that was slightly bigger than the other and i assumed it was a minor case of pop eye. Two weeks ago the eye went down and i assumed everything was okay, he was eating like a champ, and looked really...

my angelfish has been rubbing on rocks, and where he has been rubbing there are pale/white patches. it kind of looks like he has rubbed the colour off his side. i'm giving him a fw dip with methylene blue to see if it relieves it a bit. not sure if he is breathing fast because it's difficult to...

I have a 55 gallon mixed reef and I have added some red sea sponges and until recently they were doing great. Now one of them has a thin white film that starts from the tips and seems to be creeping down to the base. Is this the way it gets rid of waste? Do I need to provide more flow? or is...

My blenny has been acting weird lately it has been kinda biting at one of his finns and will swim and rub his side on the sand,he never scratches him self on the rocks though. There is also no white dots to be found on him and i was just wondering if it was the begining stages on Itch
