Clarkii With What Seems Like Marine Ick

[BrooklynsReefMan1]

I have a clrakii for about 8 weeks now and he has been doing fine his mated female died 1 month back but he has been what seems better w/o her......hes with yellow watchmen goby and a purplefirefish and turbo snail shrimp and corals

Today i woke up to seeing no fish in the front of the tank....this is unusual because my goby and firefish arent usually out until they see food or light..but my clarkii is usually the 1st guy out alll day usually once the sunlight shimmers through to the tank he is back on duty. but today he was swimming fine in the back of the tank so i said ill feed them early to see whats up...he comes out to the front to snag a mysis and i notice thesee black bloches on his body!! it looks like possible ick but idk i cant get a good nough pic to show you so hopefully you can help me out

Brooklyn..do you have a CLEAR pic of the fish?
Also go look under 'Reefs for Beginners' below and see the post by Arvean..does you fish look like this? (still want a better pic please!)

Any idea why the female died?

Look in the tank thread forum i have my tankon that i get my fish from live aquaria and LFS's mostly LFS's

1 hour to 3 hour acclimations depending on fish or coral fish usually 1 hour acclimation corals usually 2 zooanthids 1 hour my gohnapora was a 3 hour aclimation
