I have been watching my Copperband in my 20 gal QT....He is scraping his face on a rock every once in awhile...Am I just paranoid about ich...any feed back will be helpful....He is picking at the rock with aiptasia...maybe he got stung....???? But he has not really eaten anything.
Help copperband

More info would be helpful...how long have you had him? Has he eaten at all during since he has been in the QT?
If you suspect ich, the first places we usually notice it (although it is frequently affecting the gills prior to us noticing it visually elsewhere on the fish) is on the fins and the eyes. Watch those parts carefully for any changes.
How much aiptasia is on the rock in there. They tend to only eat the smaller ones. He might be getting stung by the larger ones. Best to kill those off manually.
Just remember ..do not treat for something you are unsure of! It often does more harm than good!
