Sorry for potato quality pic.

Well I would guess one of 2 things. Maybe it's scratched? Or some sort of bacterial infection. But the pic Deff makes it hard to tell for sure.

I like to take a video than take screen shots of the video. Sometimes that makes it easier.

This is the best I could do. The blue is killing it. Any idea?

 

[Jvilla58]

nothing?

Really hard to tell from the pic because of the blue, but it looks like the scales are raised . Is there red near the base of the scales? If so, probably as Adam [MENTION=7697]LAreefguy[/MENTION] said, bacterial. Hate to diagnose without a better pic, but that is my 2 cents..

bacterial can be relatively easy to treat in a QT. penicillin would make quick work..... BUT......... confirm first with better pics...

Make sure to take it out and treat it when you find out what it is... I have lost two anthias to this exact issue! I never found out what it was so i left them in my tank and xxxxx... I would treat for bacteria and fungal with formalin and methylene blue just incase, if you dont find out what it is!
Best of luck!!
