In established tank setting, I have learned not to jump quickly but try and “read” the situation firstly especially if the fish is not displaying any other symptom and eats as norm.
I have a Blue Tang that has a few dots on a regular basis for about 3 weeks every year or so when no fish have been introduced.
In the last three events, a few dots came, then a few more, then less each day or so and then gone.
No way to get him out without damaging the corals and destabilizing my system. It’s a risk I just have to live with.
He now 7 years old. No other tang or fish ever showed any dots, or got sick and died.
Does that mean it works for everyone, no, but as long as it’s not velvet, I have time to study the event.
If it were practical to get him out, maybe I treat.
