Did 25% water change, added 2 table spoons of carbon to an old stocking and hung in the flow of the filter. *TIP

I have noticed 'lucky's' fins are frayed and there are 3 fuzzy spots on his tail, looks like the start of white spot disease or Ich. I asked the Fish man and he said I could buy medicine for him, but if its not the exact disease the medicine wont work, plus the medicine was $36 and lucky would be cheaper to replace, plus he wasn't really meant to be in my tank yet anyway. Harsh but true, I will take my chances and see if lucky will get better. I have a theory that his fins might be frayed from being under the sharp rocks and his fins grazing on the crushed coral. He seems quite happy and is still eating well.
