Hi, can someone help me out if you can? My marine fish have never been sick that I know of, in 2 years. Anyhow, I have a Royal Gramma that has a light white patch on one side and i noticed today it appears to be trying to itch its body by brushing his side on the rock (swims sideways) rubbing side over rock. One other fish Coral Beauty, seems to have very-very tiny white specks over a lot of its body, these are only visible with only one light on (150w 10k DE metal halide w/uv glass shield) spots cannot be seen with other light on (175w Mogul-15k) I do not run lights at same time. Other fish seem to look/act normal, a little bit of tail fin missing on damsel. All are eating ok (10 in all) Gramma did not eat today but it aways eats like a pig thought it was full. Now I am not sure. I do have mushroom polyp's green sea mats, Silver Xenia and Green star polyp. So I could use some help especially if I need to medicate. Thanks, Mark M.
