I got a small red coris wrasse about 8 days ago and it was ok till these 2 days, when i noticed that it started to scratch against the LR and sandbed about every 5min or so. There was otherwise no white spots on its body and it was active and eating hungrily as usual.

I keep it in a FOWLR with a yellow tang and a juvenile emporer angel, both of which appear very healthy and do not have this scratching behaviour or white spots.

So i'm wondering: Does scratching = Ich? Or is there any other explanation to the behaviour? Anyone has any experience with this before? :(

It is certainly a symtom of parasite. But do not have to be overly alarm for now. Monitor for ich if possible and takes actions then. It is still better if you QT you fish first.

Most new fishes will scratch in my QT. Some will not scratch after a while... Some just develope ich, like my long gone blue tang, where it scratch and ich appears....

It turned out to be ich... :(

Woke up this morning to find the red coris wrasse dead, and white spots all over the fins of the emperor angel. Thankfully the emperor still eating.. I fed it its usual seafood mixed with garlic, and also lowered the S.G. to 1.013... hopefully it will survive the attack..

      The sinking sensation that gripped my stomach, when I logged into my cryptocurrency account and saw my bitcoin balance of USD 680,000.00 had vanished was one I'll never forget. The despair and panic set in instantly. All those years of investing and saving are just gone in an instant. I felt numb trying to process what had happened. Someone had hacked my account, drained my funds, and disappeared without a trace. After the initial shock wore off, I shifted into problem-solving mode. I wasn't going to let some thief steal my hard-earned money and get away with it. I started scouring cryptocurrency forums and came across mentions of Wizard Web Recovery, a service that specializes in tracking stolen digital assets and helping victims recover their funds. I reached out and explained my situation. The analysts at Wizard Web Recovery sprang into action, utilizing their network of contacts and sophisticated tracking software to follow the trail of my stolen Bitcoin.
