What’s up people!
I have a long nose butterfly that’s been in my display tank about a month now, doing really well, good specimen from the shop and it’s been bright and lively and always on the hunt for food and accepting frozen.
Today, my return pump ran out of water and I didn’t notice - a lot of air got into the tank for maybe 10 seconds while I topped off and started blowing micro bubbles. Happens.
Anyway since then I’ve noticed in certain lighting there are LOTS of spots all over my butterfly, fins, tail, body, head. These weren’t here yesterday, and they weren’t here this morning.
I’m thinking air bubbles?? Maybe?? Can that happen, can they get trapped on the skin etc?
Only see them in specific lighting. I’ve taken a video in blue and white light for you to help me out.
I have NOT added any new fish or coral within the 3-4 months so there’s no way it could randomly have been introduced to the tank.
