Hi

The Coral Beauty I bought yesterday has White Spot! :-((( Very disappointed.  I have starting dosing my tank this afternoon with eSHa Oodinex.

Can you give me some URGENT advice please - I don't have a quarantine tank.

Louis where does the Coral Beauty have white spots lips, tail or body ?

This could be a sign that her immune system is weak, probably because of the stress caused during the journey and the new tank. If she is eating I would dip her food in garlic to enhance her immune system. 

If you do not want to bother with dipping garlic. Ocean Nutrition Formula Two is an excellent food to give as it has Garlic in it already >> http://www.aquariummalta.com/products/16-ocean-nutrition-formula-two-marine.aspx

Most spots are on the body...

 

I've got the food you mentioned: small black pellets smelling of garlic.  I'll start using them more often, and hope for the best..... worried, becuase I read bad things about White Spot in a marine tank sad

Try with the garlic first give it a week. If the situation deteriorates, then you would need to move the CB in a different tank with an air-stone and some rocks in order to start raising the temperature. Do not try raising temperature in the main tank as it will have an adverse effect on the corals.
