Bird wrass disease id
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		Hi folks, 
 
A local art gallery has pretty much the only other SW tank in town, the owner used a fellow who lived nearby to service the tank but he's no longer around. 
 
The tank is a corner tank, looks to be no larger than maybe 40 gal and has no LR, but artificial decorations. 
 
He has a female Bird Wrass of about 5 inches in length.  It has been losing it's colour and has a cottony growth all over it's beak.  It also looks like it's becoming discoloured (red) around the cheeks and gills. 
 
I tried to take some pics which I will check out tonight and post if possible, but the fish moved so much it was difficult. 
 
Any thoughts on what this might be?  Sadly, I know nothing about the tank, parameters, etc but if need be I will try to work with the owner to get it figured. 
 
Thanks, 
 
Rob
