Humble. Thank you for your response. So no treatment. Alright. Is it contagious? I added a golden dwarf 3 days ago. Could the stress of that have caused an outbreak? Also, my seachem ammonia badge hit alert yesterday. Saying it's at .05. I thought that odd. My tank is 2 years old and have only ever had a ich outbreak. Which I went fallow for.It looks more like Lympho: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/lymphocystis.257461/
A worm is another possibility, but it should move if it is that. Unless it has burrowed in.

Ugh. Alright. Well I can't double check my ammonia just yet as I can't purchase an ammonia kit right meow. I did a 10% water change just in case and plan on doing another in a day or so. As far as the lympho goes; I suppose I'll just watch it and see how bad it gets. If anything changes, I'll tag ya Humble! thanks for you help again!Lympho is contagious but also unavoidable IMO. It's like HSV-1 aka cold sores... seems like only a matter of time before you kiss someone that has it. ;Yuck
I would double check that ammonia reading against a test kit.
Nah. I've since moved him to my QT to limit the possibility of my eel or dragonet getting sick. He has a cloudy kind of fuzzy growth going on his dorsal fin. The one on his gill has gotten a bit smaller. Gonna watch and see how it develops over the next week or so.Maybe it is an injury? A bit difficult to tell in this pics.

Didn't really have one since I agree with Humble that it's Lympho. It it turns out to be something else or I decide to treat for a secondary infection; I got Kenaplex and Metroplex on standby. Along with Furan 2What is your treatment plan?
I do have some birdsnest that kind of closed up a little bit, but it's back normal now. Was closed up for about half a day. Anemones, Xenia, and zoas are all out and fine. I'll try the badge thing in fresh water. Didn't think of that.Your posted pic I'm +1 with humble on the lymphocysts
Do you have any coral in the DT if you have hi ammonia they will usually close up. You can also double check the ammonia badge by placing it in some fresh saltwater it could take 4-6 hrs to return to the normal color duing this
Also You mentioned that your tank is a few yrs old if the badge is that old also it might be no good there only good for about a yearI do have some birdsnest that kind of closed up a little bit, but it's back normal now.

Great! I'll try all that. Any idea about the crabs? Can't really tell if it's just them molting or if it's indeed their dead bodies.+1 The ammonia badge can take several hours to return to "SAFE" after turning green.
You can always test the badge's effectiveness by dosing ammonium hydroxide (i.e. Household ammonia) into a bucket of water and seeing how accurately it measures the ammonia level.

Great! So I dose those together yes? Just follow the dosing instructions on the box or do you typically reduce the dosage on one a little bit since they're being used together?@Aaron Davis The white spot I'm unsure about (probably Lympho?); but the grey area could be the very beginnings of a bacterial infection. If this were my clown, I'd probably run him thru Kanaplex + Metroplex for 10 days just for peace of mind.
