I'm new to this, just started in jan 2021. I have a coral beauty who has been acting fine but started with white eyebrows about 2 month ago. I've had her about 4 months. It has gotten a bit bigger in the last few weeks. She eats like a pig and very active. One person thought she make have scraped herself as she likes to go in the cave at night. Then I was told maybe hlle. I had ick once on a few fish for 1 day and it went away the next the first water change 4 months ago. No stray voltage, I have a sponge, charcoal and bead filter system that hangs on the back. I do weekly water changes of 8 to 9 gals of my 55 gal tank. I switched to rodi water 6 weeks ago. My nitrates go between 20 to 40, ph is 7.8 or 8.0. I have started using angel food with sponge in it along with the brine shrimp, mysis, spiraling and flakes on and off. I try to give variety 2x a day. From what I have read I have tried everything. My Ca was a bit low 320 2 wks ago and the fish store had me add CA for 5 days at 5ml/day. It is now 520 if I did the test right. All other fish are well no signs on them of anything wierd. Its not velvety or ich like. Looks like scrapes but getting larger last few weeks.
2 clowns, 1 goby, 2 chromies, 2 pajama cardinals, 1 gamma, 2 peppermint shrimp, 1 cleaner shrimp, 2 giant snails, 2 small cone snail, 2 blue legged and 1 scarlet crab and an emerald crab. The tanks is clean and they all look good except my beauty has those white patches. I dont know what to do or if she is acting fine just be happy. Thank you for any help. AM. Also i amnot sure how to post a picture on this i am not techy at all
Here is a photo of my coral beauty with the white patches. I hope this comes through. I've done everything my fish guy has told .e through learning g about having a saltwater tanks. I have read multiple forums and gotten a different answer each time I tend to go 2 out of 3. I am confused with what to do or not do all I know is if I do one thing someone else will say I should not have done that. Please be kind, im trying. Im hoping she will be ok and that I'm doing alright. Thank you
