Parasite Eggs on my Koran Angel?

fixingstill · 12/25/2017, 07:20 PM

My koran angel has been in my QT for about 2 months with a full dose of cupramine, I knew it has something torn on the bottom fin. Today I decided to take him out to see and take pics. I now see some egg patches so I just did a methylene blue bath. Hopefully it will help. Anyone know what they are? It does not seem to harm or bother him. Few weeks ago, I had also moved hum to another tank with Kanaplex to fix a fin that was not moving (or rotting). That rot fin was fixed but this egg patches didn't seem to go away (so kanaplex did not work for that).

A sailfin has been with him the whole time (2 months). Today, I just added another batch of fishes - powder blue, brown tang, saddle puffer, foureye bufflerfly, and singapore angelfish. I should have waited. Now I really have to fix this Koran before this thing spreads over.

(I posted this on clay-boa. Hope someone here can help too.)

That's for sure some sort of eggs. I would formalin dip the angelfish and the get the angelfish into Praziquantel/prazipro for 6 days then treat again. On "clay boa" haha I would listen to Humblefish and humblefish only. If he tells you something differently than I did, then ignore my advise... also looks like fin rot

I guess I would assume these are some eggs of some sort that somehow attached to his body and are now all dead since they have been there for at least 3 to 4 weeks. In that case, I will scratch them off and see what damage it has to the fish and if the fish will heal up. I would not assume it is not a normal life cycle of any sort of parasites.

Any comments from any experts are welcome.

This isn't something you typically see on fish... What did Humblefish tell you to do?

Xmas time. The experts are resting I guess. Looking forward to seeing their comments when they come back.

+1 with Dmorty217 humblefish is gonna be the guy on this one. Good luck

I would guess Crustaceamorpha. It is rare but possible. The larva is usually taken out by filtration but sometimes they find a host and form into eggs.

I'm curious to see what Humble says as well.

Has humblefish "Moved on"? Or he is still active on reefcentral? I don't see any activities from him lately? The last post from him was 05/11/2017? Or he is on ********* now?
