Sadly I think my Flame Angel has ich? I purchased two new fish at the LFS an Anthias and a flame angel about 10 days ago (I did not freshwater dip). I have a 55 gallon FOWLR set up for 10 years. I have never had ich in my saltwater tank... and my fish so rarely die that I never have been able to experiment with new fish...
The Anthias died about 6 days after getting him.. NO SPOTS he just ended up going pale in two lines. I learned this is caused by stress and common to anthias? My flame angel was doing AWESOME.. and then today he looks timid? and I notice the tiniest of two white spots around his face... What do I do? I was thinking to go and get a cleaner shrimp tomorrow morning? Will that help? Any saving her now?
