After a trek down to the aquatics centre i am now sure it is Marine white spot. A very common parasitic condition caused by high saline levels or other imbalances in the water.
Luckily the medicine is cheep and cures lots of other things too. It is a three day course 25 drops on the first day and 12 the next two. The medicine is a neon green so now the whole tank is well green hehe.
Get well soon Todd!
What is actually wrong with him!
"Marine white spot is caused by a ciliate parasite called Cryptocaryon irritans and was only identified as a distinct parasite in its own right in 1951. Although the disease’s symptoms appear similar to freshwater white spot (Ichthyophthirius multifiliis) the two parasites are not very closely related and both need different husbandry and/or treatment regimes to prevent and resolve an outbreak. "
The cure...
