Update: I have stopped all treatments, did water changes, all water test fine. Puffer still every other day or so shows these white bumps, they come and go, again no other fish infected. Im concluded this must have stress related, by this time if it was ich the tank, other fish or puffer would...

wow that looks just like what he has!!!!, and I believe your right, that its a stress issue because I few days after the Trigger got a new home, stopped treatments and I only see about 1 cluster of 5-6 bumps and he stopped scratching and color has come in, im not going to get to excited, going...

Yes, first thing in the morning, he is completly covered in them! so im guessing during the night is when it occurs, then hours later hardly any. I know he has been stressed due to a Trigger fish biting him, but found a new home for the Trigger fish a couple days ago, but still bumps coming out...

Yes im guessing they are falling off, they come and go, less or more sometimes, but you can not rub them off

Well I had thought it was ich, but why doesnt it get worse and why doesnt any fish have it, its been a week since it came out. Im also being told by other sites and my lfs its not ich! im confused:bowl:

ok update...still lots of bumps! SOMEONE HELP!! lol ...I was able to get more photos that are less blurry. As noted ive already treated with Ich guard thinking thats what it may be, still adding garlic to the food, did a water change, yesterday did a formalin dip for 30min, nothing is improving...

Saltwater set up for 5 months now Yes, the dogface is already biting the chips off my starfish, ate the cleaner shrimp whole! The Goby does dig alot I love it, very interesting to watch, and he doesnt like if I help move any sand for him, winds up re-doing it. Finally got the damsel out of the...

No, he has alot of scratches bec thats what he does all day, poor thing...they seem like bumps under then skin, then those white bumps, seem to come out....is this part of the ich process?

I did know that when I purchased them, I am wanting to upgrade, right now they are small, so as they get bigger, ill make the switch. The blenny has lots of algae and when I clean the tank I never clean the back and months now, theres never been no food, I even put brown seaweed algae in as...

Ok first I got the dog face puffer on Fri, noticed about 4 white spots on yellow fins, and he has been scratching on rocks so bad his body is covered in scratches so I assumed it was ich and started adding garlic in the diet, then yesterday I started to treat water with Ich Guard by Jungle...
