Tank is a 135g, 4ft mixed reef. Current stocking is 1 YWG, 2 Ocellaris, 2 cleaner shrimp and a mix of Trochus and Cerrith snails.
My YWG has looked a little lethargic the last few days and in the last day or so gained these fairly large white splotches in various spots on his body. He is still eating and moving about the tank, just with a little less energy than previously.
The YWG and the clownfish have been in the tank since it finished cycling, approx 6 weeks ago. The only newly added inhabitants since then are coral and snails.
Is this Ich? I always thought ich was lighter, smaller white spots but these appear to be beige without clearly defined margins. They don’t appear to be raised but they do appear to be on the skin.
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 7.5
Phos 0.27
Calcium 400
Alk 7.2
Magnesium 1430
Salinity 1.025
pH/temp graphs attached
Test kits are Hanna checkers except for calcium which is Red Sea.
