I believe this to be Amphiprora alata. I can't seem to find if this is harmful to my fish or not but I've found them on my fish and I'm having trouble identifying a disease on my fish. I have alot of these. Could anyone please educate me on this, if it's harmful and such? Is it a diatom...

I noticed that I recently have been trying to help fellow reefers and being new to reefing myself my knowledge is limited, so after I recommend everything I have learned I often refer it to the reefsquad. Lets face it, without the reefsquad a lot of us would be lost. The years of knowledge they...
