Hippo Tang Needs HELP

[Travis123]

Hi everyone. I recently got this Hippo Tang 4 days ago, and yesterday i noticed her bottom fin/belly had a little section missing. Thought maybe she hurt herself in the rockwork or got bit by another fish, so ive been watching her. Today seems to have gotten a little worse & i just want some opinions on what this could be and what i should do/how to treat. Just put her in a quarantine tank. Thanks guys.

Welcome to R2R. Can you try for more white light photos and a YouTube video? Will help give a good treatment plan.

Site has issues allowing certain formats to play. I'd recommend posting using a YouTube link. Also, make sure it's clear using white lighting. The blue can drown it out.

Whenever something is worsening - and I don't see it in your pictures - more would be helpful - its a good idea to separate the fish into a hospital tank in case a medication is needed and/or - there is aggression going on.
