A couple weeks back I thought I noticed a lump on the side of my Blue Spotted Watchman Goby. He does such a good job hiding that I thought maybe it was just my imagination. I woke up today to find him out of cover on the side of the tank seemingly struggling to breathe. Where I thought I saw the lump on him is now a huge open wound. I pulled him from my DT and put him in a 2.5 gallon aquarium to use as a hospital tank. I haven't added anything recently so I am not sure what he has. Can anyone shed light on what he has and what the recommnded treatment would be? Or is he going to die no matter what I do? Is there some treatment I should do on the DT to keep this from spreading to anything else? I have lots of corals of all types in the DT so any treatment has to be safe for a reef tank. Any help is appreciated!
