    Hi, hoping someone can confirm what is going on with my wrasses head... Idk if it is ich (never dealt with it before). The white dots look more like bubbles in person. It almost looks like he has a gauge on his head. If its ich, what should i do?! including some pics of my other fish i don't see any on them.

    Pic# 2 note the zoas that are closed up in the back; they seem to be dwindling on that rock. I did see and pick out multiple zoa eating nudis? Does it look to you guys like those zoas are being eating by the nudis? Should i get some of that nudi treatment (i forget the name).

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    For me image are just not close enough, way too far away. Your description does not sound spot on either, air bubbles vs parasite, not sure sorry.

    Need to see the nudibranchs as well unless you know for sure they were nudibranch eating already. If they were, there will be eggs and removing the adults might not be sufficient you're going to have religiously remove adults until you're sure they are all gone.

    Thanks for the reply. You'd be surprised how hard it is to get a clear close up of a moving fish. ::) I guess ill need to bust out a heavier duty camera. And the zoas I was more wondering if they appeared ill or diseased. I've assumed it is the undos because I had them Bfor but I havnt been able to see any. I pulled out probably 10 a few months ago.
