Normally it is not recommended to buy fishes which is discolored. It might be injured during the process of catching it. It will heal and colour will return uf it is eating well and water parameters are good. Do a short hyposalinity of 1.008-1.009 for a 1 week or so. Flame angel cannot stand long periods of hypo normally. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

Injured mouth normally have problem feeding.......its something like having ulcer on the lips and trying to eat. Humans die die will eat but fishes usually die off in a short while for not eating and diseases weaken them. Sent from my GT-N7105 using Tapatalk 2

My flame angel also had similar ich symtoms a few days after getting it. Body had some minor outbreak too.

As i could not catch it out from my reef tank, had to leave it in there.

Luckily for me it was eating and i tempted it to continue eating by putting garlic in food - donno how helpful it was but at least it continued eating n after a week or so, the minor ich and white area from the mouth was gone. Guess it depends on the fish immunity too in fighting it off.

I suspect it is mouth rot. You may try some external bacteria medicine.

Is the mouth white only? What about the cheek area? Notice flame angel with whitish cheek are usually difficult to make it through. Meanwhile, you may want to change more water and add in yellow powder. Feed with vitamin soaked food too to boost the immunity.
