A big spot on my puffer (and it's not a spotted puffer!)

Hi,
I came home today to find this white spot on Olivander's nose (he's my Valentini puffer). It doesn't look like ick. It is a little bit raised right in the center. I wonder if he injured it,...

I was just reading that dropping salinity to below 1.010 is a good way to treat ick. Would this be better than the blue medicine? Would it kill it off the rocks etc as well, and get rid of it for...

I move the Fluval 404 from the main tank to the QT tank. It's overkill, as my QT tank was 10g.:biggrin: Which is why I can't do as PuffLuv suggested. What if left half the rocks out for 6wks, then...
