    problem with

    my blue hippo tang. it is NOT ich...

    he only has two whit spots that look like a pimple (one on each fin) on the top of each fin and the same distance down from his body. it is near the end of the fin. Any ideas?

    I will try to post a picture later on.

    Not all spots are Marine Ich. Fish can develop a kind of pimple similar in nature to the human kind. Bacteria near the skin surface are walled off by fish cells and contain the toxins in a pimple-like structure.

    Keep an eye on it to see what they do. I would do a large water change for sure when the water is ready.
