Can someone help me determine if this is ich vs brook?
Long story short, I found what I thought was a good deal on a kole tang and added it to my reef. All seemed well at first but now I've noticed a few spots on its fins which spread to all over its body. It seems to have infected my orchid dottyback and now my clowns. This has been progressing over the last several days, the only fish that doesn't seem infected is a yellow watchman goby. All the fish are behaving, breathing, and eating normally. Salinity is .025, temp is 79F, calcium is a little low but everything else seems fine.
I have a decent amount of corals so dosing the tank with anything isn't really an option. I've read up on poly labs but am undecided on it. I unfortunately don't have the space for a larger QT tank, I only have an extra 10 gallon which I am going to convert into a temporary QT/hospital with copper/metroplex but I obviously can't fit all the fish in this tank.
Any help determining what this is or advice would be appreciated,
Thanks
