Foxface redness around base of fins

[Reef Wizard]

Was the dose done in a display tank or a hospital tank. I would suggest you set up a hospital tank, treat that per protocol for flukes.

This is in a qt tank. Barebottom with pvc hides

Redness often suggests infection. How/why - I have no clue - is it worsening. How big is the fish - since younger fish often have red areas.

The redness is gone now hasnt shown up anymore but I am wondering if its mucus cones on him now from possible flukes.
fish is close 4 inches

@MnFish1 were you able to see those youtube vids

Yes - and I was thinking about video # 2. I'm assuming that is stress coloration i.e. just turned on the lights, etc or something else? the fin movement is not totally normal in the first video - apparently some irritation. I don't know if it's my eyes or your video - I don't see clear cones or Ich. I hate to ask - but before recommending changing plans - would like to be more sure. Could you get clear pics of what you're considering mucus cones (which often follow/are associated with Ich)?

Yeah stress from lights so I could get pic but we see these bumps on him. See if this pic is better im starting to think this is ich again...

I'm going to back off what I said... This looks like ich. you would need to treat for it
