HELP - Fish Illness

[Montana]

Just to let you know i have a yellow tang with black ich and it doesn't look any thing like that the spots on your fish are to tight together it looks more like a bacterial or fungal infection, i agree to post the pic on reef central. after seeing the stress my tang went through after i gave it a fw dip i wouldnt recomend it unless you are sure will help.

Thanks Lee just about what I would have said. And I also suggest that you post on the disease forum at RC to see if you can get some help in getting the fish to pull through - and keep us posted as it is something that I would like to know if I ever run into it in the future.

Thanks for all the help and concern everyone. I did post at reef central right after I posted here, no help there though, but posts get lost pretty quick there.

No change in the fish, the grey patches have not grown or expanded, so hopefully they will start to receed soon.

I have had dark spots on a few of my fish in the last couple of weeks. They seem to be there in the morning and are gone by night time. This morning they are really bad. My powder brown is completely covered and his left eye is clouded. My coral beauty looks to have them too as the purple is blotchy, My three percs have them as well as the dragon Goby. I was having ick issues about two weeks ago as well and have not seen any this week. I started seeing these spots just after I got that macro algea from you Rory. Could be the same stuff. I am trying to get my camera working so I don't have a picture.

I'm worried.

Doubt it is the same thing if yours is going away at night, my is constant.
Hopefully you can post some pics and we can compare.

Mine does seem to be fading now though, seems about 1/2 as intense as before, hopefully whatever it is is clearing up.

So far so good with all my other fish too, none of them show any signs of it.

First thing in the morning it is really pronounced and it fades all day, usually by night time it is mostly gone. Today it is really bad. Has been getting worse almost every day. Was thinking it was some sort of predator or maybe a bacterial infection. Infection would get worse daily but why would it fade away at night? My powder brown is hanging out right in the path of one outlet like he's trying to wash something off.

Try to get some pics and post them in this thread to compare.

Very strange that it would vary during the day/night, not sure what that might be, anyone heard of this? Mine has been constant, no change but seems to be fading in general now.

Myanth, I have a large dragon goby, he does not show any signs of these grey patches or any other spots.
