    I think i have ick but i described it to the lfs they said its not.

    i bought a yellow tank about a month ago. after about a week i noticed tiny black spots. so i searched the site for some posts and found a reply saying if he is acting normal not to worry about it.

    now yesterday i noticed a little white mole thing on him. i called the lfs and they said its not ick but some sort of bacterial infection. and i should qt him for a while for medecation. problem i dont have a qt tank set up.

    he is acting perfectly normal and has one heck of an appetite. any ideas would be great .
    thankx dano

    it says meds with Formalin r good, but i dont know if thats reef safe, also it says the worms r born in debris and sand. an because of that u should siphon all the junk out of the tank maybe once a week. if u wanna find more i belive the worms r called Turbellarians.
