     Nematodes- are likely causing the Popeye, they can hide behind they eye causing the trauma.  The marks that looks like "scuffs" are flatworms.  Darren I have personally handled 100's of thousands of fish over the years so I feel I can make a  fairly accurate diagnosis.  I'm not perfect, but I've been doing this a long time. I'm not really jumping to any conclusions.  If you have another idea what it is, share it with us.  Everyones input can be helpful...

     Unfortunately a quarantine will do little to help with these ailments.  They take a while to manifest and you must be able to recognize the symptoms and diagnose it correctly. Then use the proper treatment.

Nematodes are internal parasites. Most are really harmless. Do a internet search for more info. Other fish are likely OK. Another important lesson on the value of good quarantine practices. ]]> Tue, 26 Mar 2013 09:47:50 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62965&PID=514398&title=marine-velvetpics-added-help#514398 <![CDATA[marine velvet(PICS ADDED) help!!! : DMower wrote:That (flat worms)...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62965&PID=514307&title=marine-velvetpics-added-help#514307 Author: larseb

Is there a way i could tell myself or what are some of the symptoms?  If it is worms i don't want the rest of my fish to get sick or i want to get them better if they already have it.

 Popeye is usually caused by a Nematode not much you can do.  Sometimes Melafix will help with that. It is stress induced.  Unfortunately Powder Browns are very hard to keep long term.

So two of my fish died a flame angel and the Powder brown. So are you saying they had worms or what? I would still like to know what it was
