White spots on Emperor

[bane]

Bought a full grown Emperor ...

it was fine the initial 2 days ...

Then now i start seeing really small white spots on it .....

WHat should i do ??

First big angel ....can any experienced reefers advise ??

[Earth]

usual reply...

Is it feeding? If yes, feed with food soaked with garlic. Maybe still got chance that it will recover... That i believe is the easiest method to cure it. Of course there are many other methods which u can do search here.

Last of all, still very much depends on your and your fish's luck...

agree with bro Earth. garlic works wonders. it won't go away immediately but the fish immunity will increase and after a week of regular garlic supplemented food, it will be well already. I've had 2 rounds of white spots and all cured by garlic.

its feeding ....but only on brine shrimp ...and very little flakes ...

Can't soak live brine shrimp in garlic right ?or can i ?

[johntanjm]

yes can. for convenience use garlic guard, if not juice your own garlic. defrost the brine shrimp inside the garlic juice and let it soak for few hours, then feed lor.
