Help losing fish fast

[jetsfan4life89]

Purchased a naso and within days I seen it was dead I took pics as it progressed and now I have lost 5 fish total. Seems like skin is peeling right off the fish. I have been treating with ruby reef today is day 4 what is this and what should I do. @Humblefish @ReefSquad

Take a look at the sticky post at the top of this section, or the link below my name here- it gives a list of the background info we need to try and diagnose the issue.
Unfortunately - once fish loss has occurred it is very difficult to start a treatment that will act fast enough to keep more fish from dying.
Can you get pictures and video taken under white lights? Are you seeing rapid breathing in the fish? Does the tank contain invertebrates? How are they?

The lesion on the naso tang looks like an injury, or Uronema. What were the other five fish that died? Did they all die around the same time?

All fish died within 24 hrs they all show this white peeling shedding off skin @Jay Hemdal

Without a microscope it is tough to say, but Uronema is most likely, followed by Brooklynella (rare on tangs).

You might want to continue the ruby reef bath, I don’t use it myself, but it has worked for other folks.
