Think my clown goby might have ich.

I have a small green clown goby that I have had for years an recently I have seen some tiny white "pimple" like things one him. Maybe only three of them. There is no way for me to get him out of this tank and all other fish show know signs. Any help??????

Thanks

If you can post a picture it would help. For now soak food in garlic extreme to help him fight it off. Ich look like salt grains on the body.

Yeah the thing is it's only three specks. one on it's tail, and one on each side of it's body one in front and the other near the back. The darn thing stays within the softies so it's hard to even catch a glimpse of him for more than a minute much less take a picture. I'll try but no guaranties.

Another note he is eating, swimming, acting perfectly fine.

Also what type of food can I soak in that garlic and is it completly reef and coral safe?

Thanks for the response by the way

What type of food do you feed him? Tha fact that he's eating and has normal swimming behavior is a good sign.

I have a mix of different pellets and flake I mix together including :

Prime reef flake
New life spectrum pellet
Salifert energy plus granular "pellet"

I only have the pellet mix in the auto feeder and when I get home I put in a mix of all of them. All my fish have been doing great with this and seem to love it.

Just keep an eye on him, you don't want to go rustling everything inside trying to catch him. I've had fish get white spots once in a while, and most of them just get over it as long as the water Q was good and stable.
