Hippo tang belly white spots ?

[Ling_Thing]

So I thought I was dealing with flukes so I currently am on my second dose of prazi pro but these white spots appear on his belly and will be gone in less than an hour, it’s the strangest thing. I thought they were flukes but maybe my 2 small bta’s or torch is having a reaction to it. I got a little video and couple pics from the video.

Blue tangs get all kinds of funny marks on them from sleeping in the rocks at night. But your tangs also look like they have HLLE. Especially the yellow.

Ya the yellow had it real bad when I got it and it’s recovering and came a long way but the hippo doesn’t show any HLLE. But now the hippo looks perfectly so it’s possible they heal that fast? I was thinking more like hives for example.

true above... they are master of playing dead and while they sleep they goto most weird places to sleep and can pick up marks from just that. I dont see any HLLE signs on hippo but yellow definitely.

Hippos are like chameleons. They seem to be able to change there skin at will or in response to environment. It makes reefers crazy at times until you get used to their abilities. Best of luck with such beautiful fish.
