Poor tang :(

Couldn't get a good picture but this poor tang at one of the LFS in my area literally looked like it had mumps or leprosy. Felt so bad for it. Like 10 employees walked by and looked in the tank and just left it there with customers in the store looking. From talking to a friend he thought it may be getting basically eaten alive by multiple types of parasites. Wish I could have gotten a better picture.

It kind of looked like this. Like a couple spots that were big scab like mounds. FYI this is just a google image i found when looking up saltwater fish diseases.

Really bad bacterial infection and perhaps some lympho too as the fish's immune system is compromised. Important to remember that bacterial infections are usually secondary to some primary actor like parasites both internal and or external.

I wanted to tell them but I mean hell, like 10 of their employees looked in that tank and at the fish. Not my place right?

I'm not the biggest fan of this store ever since I learned more about the hobby and their sale practices.
