royal gramma dying due to orange spots

[clownfish_forever]

Hi bro,

Anyone can help to ID what disease is this? Some form of lice?

The royal gramma has been feeding well till 2 days ago. Under closer observation at night, I saw the orange spots over its body.

If it is some forms of lice, that I am worried whether my other fishes have been infested!!!

Any treatment that I should apply?

Never came across this before,maybe try doing regular water changes.

Maybe can try yellow powder. Chance of survival is slim I think.

not sure if cleaner shrimp will help. But look like some organism tat attach itself to the fish. Maybe u need to consider the current health status before performing freshwater dip or other medication.

Based on the current situation, I don't think the fish is in no condition to go through freshwater dip and medication.

May try to add some vitamin to the water. Hope the fish absorbs some vitamin since the fish is not eating. Good luck.

I am no expert here bro but i will definitely take him out to another tank but being careful not to stress other tankmates and of course be gentle to him. Cos as for me i got minimal rocks. Your tank may or may not be infected but at least minimise the spread if its been spreading to other mates which i hope not. From there i will seek advice from the experience reefers of treatment. Hopefully there are ways to cure the poor fish and also your tank if it is also infected

Agreed, at least take out the fish from the display tank to prevent/minimize the spread.

Interesting. First time see this. But totally agree to quarantine it to prevent spread.
