Any ideas on what those lumps are on on the side of the Naso

(Sorry about pic size mods, but.. smaller and it gets grainy )

Do they stay in the same place or move around?

same place

never seen that before,

can you get a photo of the naso in the tank?

not some sort of isopod attached to the fish?

Couple of minutes.

Fish is eatling like a pig, goes nuts at feeding time, and is usually the first fish awake in the mornings parading against the glass going FEED ME!!!

Excuse the cyano, from using cheap crappy food

Anenome sulking due to female clown harassing it

not some sort of isopod attached to the fish?

That's what I was thinking, I got some once from the NZW at Taka and they looked just like that on the fish. But how long has the fish had them and did they appear overnight?

If it was my fish and could be caught again, I would be strongly tempted to lance on of them with a pin or scalpel to see if it is some type of parasite. Lance sideways paralel with the fish body, trying to get under it incase it is a hard shelled burrowing isopod. Just watch the fish doesn't cut you with his spurs.

I would just keep a eye on it to see if it moves to another spot.

I'll leave it for a few days (it'll take that long for the fish to sleep somewhere he is easy to grab...), see if they move, if he starts to deteriote or get more i'll QT him.

hows the lumps on the NASO.

haven't moved at all , going to do a rearrange of the tank (wanting to get my sump lit, and fit in my rowaphos reactor, also fit a bubble trap into the sump, so thats currently draining, and then be doing a big w/c over the weekend, and syphon off all the cyano, and increase flow, it'll give me a chance to examine the naso more closely, also find space to put back my 2foot tank as a QT tank, and hopefully also getting a UPS for the return.

This weekend will be surgery time.. whee.

And the naso won't try and cut me, hes a good boy...............

Bumps have gone. No idea why or how
