I dont know what the parasite is called. But is this a parasite on blue tang (dorsal fin)?

Really hard to see...my guess would be an isopod...

I will try and get a better shot. thanks for taking a look. How are you to treat isopods?

that's as good as my camera gets. But Tang is eating looks to be healthy, but Dorsal fin is always up

If its an isopod you would need to catch the fish and remove it.

I think it's an Aegids isopod. I am going to catch her and attempt to pull it off and treat with stress guard and melafix. Of this is a bad idea please let me know.

Just dont stress her out too much hippos especially that small are very easilly stressed by chasing them around the tank i would treat prazzipro in a seperate hospital tank it should fall off after treatment
