Hi all,
I have a small Filamented Flasher Wrasse that went through 6 weeks of qt fine. He has been in my display for 3 weeks with no problems. This morning I noticed what looks like a white mohawk on the top of his head. The hair is about 1/4 inch long and white.
No other visable spots and he is eating and acting normal.
The tank is a 90 gal mixed reef.
Only have a pair of clowns and a scribbled rabbitfish and they all look fine.
I have went through all the different diseases and I have not seen anything close to this.

Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Any ideas of what I should do?
Thanks in advance,
B

At first I was going to ask you to post a picture of your hairy wrasse for us, but in the end, perhaps just a picture of the fish would suffice.....

razor and perhaps some cream J/K. I know that some wrasses make a mucus wall while it sleeps could it have been a straggler from that? Just throwing out ideas.
