Hi,
I introduced a female GBR to my aquarium about 2 months ago and after she spawns the male I paired her with eats all of the eggs she lays and then becomes quite aggressive towards her. While the eggs are visible, they get a long very well and the female actually shows more aggression towards the male.
Typically he will swim after her very quickly and chase her to the back of the aquarium. She started to hide behind a rock and lose her colours and each time she dared to come out she was chased back behind the rock by the male. Due to this, it was very hard to get her to eat anything so I have transferred her into a separate community aquarium.
At the moment she is spitting her flake food out (which she normally enjoyed) and she has a white spot on her head which I am unable to distinguish from other ailments. Here are some pics of the white spot:

The most concerning thing about the spot is that it sinks very slightly into the GBR's head. I have transferred the GBR to a 20 litre quarantine tank and I am treating the water with Waterlife Myaxin as though the spot is some sort of bacterial infection.
IMO, the spot doesn't resemble hole in the head of fungus but why is the spot sinking ever so slightly into the skin?
Thank you,
Mark.
