Default blue damsel

the area affected is a top the crest of the damsel's head. It almost looks like a crown slightly raised if looking at the fish from the side. It is almost translucent. So I was thinking ick or Brooklynellosis

going to get a QT tank this weekend to toss my 4 fish in and give my main tank 4 weeks forany parasites to go away as I have seen suggested, but if its brooklynellosis should i just QT the one fish and hope for the best in my main tank with all of the others waiting to show symptoms??
I wish I had pictures to include to better describe what I was seeing.

Is this fish still alive,and in you tank to you have inverts because the use of copper would get rid of your problem, also you might want to do small water changes it will help as well.

he was suicided unfortunately. It appeared to be ich and I had no way of restoring him to proper health. So to prevent infecting the whole tank he got kilt. I bought a six-line wrasse from the same LFS and it also had another type of illness. Either their provider is horrible or their tanks are completely infected.
I have since switch LFS and haven't had a problem since.
