lymphocystis

Hi guys, I recently picked up a very healthy Copperband from my trusted LFS. He was feeding on various frozen foods at the store when I bought him. He has acclimatised to my tank well and feeds on frozen mysis and devours live muscles. Recently I have noticed a buildup of small white and...

I have a Niger Trigger fish with a white spot. I’ve had him for 3 months now and he’s been in perfect health. The spot hasn’t multiplied or changed in size. It’s hard to tell in the photo but it looks fuzzy ish. No other fish has the spot and everyone has been eating. I don’t think it’s Ich, i’m...

I’m somewhat new to having saltwater tanks again and my first time having a PBT. I’ve have this guy for about 6 months now. Everything was good till about a month ago. He started to have white cotton like things on his fins and I treated him for that and cleared up. Now for like the past week it...

Got my Regal Angel a couple days of ago on Sunday. Eats frozen mysis and brine/spirulina well. I noticed two white flecks at the end of the tail and some nodules at the base of the tail (fleshy part). This looks like lympho. Can anyone confirm? Fish is active and healthy otherwise. I know...

Hi there! I noticed these 2 white spots on my Marine Betta (Hard to believe right? Lol) and was wondering if it's ich or Lymphocytis. I grabbed 2 photos the best I can of my shy little fellow. He's about 2-3 weeks in my tank and have only seen it eat off rocks during the day. At night the MB...

Hello, My Pyramid Butterfly Fish (PBF) just finished QT and was in the DT for about 1.5 weeks now. I started noticing it developing white marks on the fins, almost clump like. Which I thought it maybe lympho. Kept monitoring for a few days, then the white lumps made its way to the eyes, now the...

So I've had lymphocystis in my tank now ever since I introduced this urchin (I saw the white stuff near his mouth when I took him out of the bag) and now my clowns have it. Been like that for a while and besides the things showing up on the clowns every once in a while nothing had has happened...

Noticed these two white spots on my Tomini tang. Would this be Lympho? Thanks

Anyone have any idea what just sprung up on my blue damsel? I know it could be fungus, ick or lymphocystis, but I’m asking for advice from experiences. He seems happy and is actively hunting I just noticed it a couple of hrs ago. Look familiar?

Had him for about a week, was eating gin up until today, sort of found him lying on his side this AM, but then he moved & then all of a sudden came out and swam a bit, he did not seem to be as interested in eating all like he has been: There is a shallow gash (1/2 inch or so) on each side of...

Noticed a strange white lump on the side of one of my threadfin cardinals today - it does not look like ich, and I’m leaning towards lymphocystis, but wanted to get some other opinions. what do you guys think this is? No heavy breathing, eating healthy, maybe being harassed a little too much by...

what do you think these white marks/spots are? He also has some very small black spots, only his tail is effected. The other fish seem fine. Also can you suggest a treatment please. He is currently in quarantine with two peacock wrasse and a yellow tang.

Is this lympho? If so do you adjust your QT procedure? So I received a juvenile emperor angelfish as well as a Flame angel from Divers den, went straight into 3% peroxide bath for 30min after temp acclimation float then on to a pre-dosed copper power QT at 1.0ppm. Slowly raised to 2.0 over...

Tank started about three weeks ago, there are three fish: Atlantic blue tang, Rock beauty, and a royal gramma, all of them had been through a modified TTM quarantine process. This is their third day in the tank, just noticed that there are white spots on the Atlantic blue tang's fin. He looks...

Hi guys, I’ve been through a fallow period recently - finished it almost 3 weeks ago. After that I decided I’m only getting TTMd fish moving forward. I have a yellow tang, gem tang that I put in over 2.5 weeks ago and they’re going great. I TTMd myself 2 Picasso clowns and a yellow spot box...

Hey all, I’m getting desperate for some answers as my bristletooth tomini tangs health seems to be on a rapid decline. About 4 weeks ago, I noticed a white patch forming on the tang and it looked almost like the consistency of cotton. It started off small and after some research, it seemed to be...

Had this Blenny for about a week now and I check on him daily, today I noticed this large ball on its fin. Any ideas what this could be, should I isolate it is it contagious, treatment ideas? Anything helps photos below thank you!

My fish suddenly developed white blotches on one of it’s fins an side of it’s face so I have a couple questions. One, what is it? Ich? Lympho? Fungus? I tried to research but a lot of them look the same to me. And two should I treat it immediately or wait? She has a good appetite and I feed a...

Hi everyone, I bought a beautiful copper band two weeks ago and he's easily become one of my favourites, he's always curious about whats going on in and outside of the tank. I didn't quarantine him because I trust my LFS and it's one of the best in Ireland and they have their own quarantine...

Hello everyone, I have two neon gobies in my 75 gallon DT. It’s hard to tell if they have ick or lymphocystis. All my other fish are doing well and show no signs of ick. There hasn’t been a day where there are no white spots on the neon gobies, which is why I’m hesitant to diagnose it as ick...

I have a CCB fairly new, I purchased him for some aptaisa control. I noticed a white spot on his tail fin. I'm really hoping it's not ick! I have tangs and none of them have any white spot so that's what makes me believe this is possibly lymphocystis. I have a purple tang. Naso tang. Mimic tang...

May be, but not sure?? Need help to confirm it! An observation on my aquarium , I had a yellow tang with lymphocystis, and I notice the some white spots like ick on my blue tang, they were visiting the lysmata shrimps for a clean up very frequently. After dealing with an ick, velvet or what...

So my yellow assessor has what appears to be a classic case of Lymphocystis. THANKS to @melypr1985 for the pinned image and information post. My assessor is the lowest fish on the tank pecking order (last to feed, tends to hide). I read that stress contributes to this disease. Should I remove...

Hi guys I'm relatively new to the hobby and that's my first thread here... looking for some help to identify what is on with my Yellow Tang. Since a week I had my baby Yellow Tang that is about 2 inches now, I noticed a little whiteish spot on his dorsal fin. A month has passed now, and it...
