Default Difficult photos to see...Achilles with ich.

Well...Achilles is one tough fish. At this point, he has not eaten anything for at least 7 days. He still looks pretty solid at this point. Just as I start to think he is behaving a bit better, he turns for the worse. Lately, he's become the target of attacks by my yellow tang and ABT.

So...he's been moved to the refugium for some refuge. He may not make it, but at least now he won't get harrassed and he has unlimited food all to himself if he wants it.



In this photo you can see the extent of the parasitic attack. The large spot near his gills is just coraline on the glas, but everything else you can see is ich. You can also see some damage done by the yellow tang on his mid/upper back.
