    I got a new solar wrasse on thursday and yesterday morning he had white spots on him and i wasnt sure if it was ich or sand.It had all fallen off by noon so didnt think it was ich and he was swiming and eating just fine.Now this morning he is hiding and being sickly looking not moving much and the top of his head is white.I dont have another tank setup but i do have a 5 gallon bucket of fresh saltwater and an aerator can i put him in there with that and and use ich attack or should i just use ich attack in my dt in which i have kenya trees,zoas,frogspawn,leather,green and blue clove polyps and gsp.Plus a green reef chromis,banggai cardinal,firefish and 2 clowns.Im going to try to get a pic of his head if i can.

    Personally I would put him back in the tank, and find a way to setup a 10 gallon QT before doing anything as far as treatment.And make sure the QT has plenty of biological filtration. Sometimes you just have to learn a new fish's behavior. A wrasse can be a little odd at times, but if you think it looks ill, then I'll take your word for it. Catching him is just stressing the fish worse.
