Sick Watchman Goby
I got a new watchman goby on Sunday, and everything looked great!
He is a smaller fish in comparison to the rest of my tank, but seemed to settle in nicely. He has been eating fine, and took up residency in the front corner of the tank. Today when I checked on him, he was covered in raised white spots! I inspected the other fish in the tank, and none of the others have these white spots. What could this be? I have seen ich in freshwater fish, but it doesn't quite look the same in this case. Here is the specs on my tank: 75 gal tank, with a Marine time LED reef light bar. Reef Octopus HB-100 protein skimmer Plenty of live rock (pushing 20lbs+), with crushed shell bedding. Pulsing Xenia bundle Sebae anemone Goniporia 2 Clowns Yellow Tang Engineer Goby Blue Damsel Yellow Tip Blue Damsel Red Firefish Mandarin Dragonette 3 turbos 10-15 blue and red crabs black tuxedo sea urchin bristle starfish Using the kit I have here are the parameters I got: 0ppm Nitrite 0ppm Nitrate ~0.0ppm Phosphate 0-.25ppm Ammonia 7.4 pH |

That fish needs a tank with a sandbed - not coarse gravel and shells as you have. You should return it to the store or find someone else who is willing to take it.
