Hey everyone. What is this white spot near 1 of my bimaculats anthias dorsal fin? It looks like lympho. All three bimaculatus were purchased from reputable QT dealer and have been in tank going on 3 weeks. The other 2 bimaculatus, or other fish, show no signs of loss of appetite, change in personality, etc. My orange shoulder tang had a similar white spot on its tail for a few days when I first got her, but disappeared on its own. I feed 3 times a day, with selcon soaked feedings for 2 of those 3. Is this harmless? I have some metroplex on standby, should I start giving them a treat soaked with it?

Thanks in advance!

Pics are very pale but appears to be lympho which is viral and with Good water quality and diet will fall off by itself. A good diet is not pellets and flakes as these fish eat constantly (do not overfeed) and require meaty foods and zooplankton

Sorry for the quality. She is so fast, I can barely snap a shot! Their diet is extremely diverse! I use everything from zooplankton to squid to reef frenzy, mysis, brine, clams. They are spoiled! lol
