Noticed my Linespot Flasher Wrasse is turning white on his top fin while in my QT tank. Does this look like fin rot? It's fin was not like this last night.

I can try and get pictures if the video is not clear enough.

Can do much without pics nor is there any video.

Sorry - I can’t see much of the issue, sometimes things just don’t show well online.

Almost all “fin rot” gets started due to some mechanical damage. As @vetteguy53081 said, it is probably tankmate aggression, although if the fish was recently shipped, it could be damage from that.
 

Figuring out the why: Has your primary reason(s) for keeping a saltwater aquarium changed over time?
