Any chance at a better picture? That does not look good.

i'll try for a better pic. it doesn't look like ich. he's breathing a little heavily, but isn't scratching against anything. nothing on his fins either. i thought maybe it was the stress of shipping, but i expected him to at least start getting better. but he's still the same.

i put him in a smaller QT and raised the temp to 85. his color seems to be improving. i'll wait till tomorrow to see. i don't have hair algae in this tank like i do in the bigger one. i haven't seem him eat yet, but he is swimming around. i have nori on a clip in the tank, but i am yet to see him go near it.

i got a hold of someone at the place where i got him.. they said it is stress blotches and that it is characteristic of the nasos. i don't know how true that is since this is my firstever naso. i'm going to try and keep things stable around him and see how he does.
