What happened to it?

Sorry to hear that. These fish are notorious for health issues and aren't recommended without a quarantine system.

Make sure to keep an eye on the fish you have. Could have passed something on to them.

I've loved that fish from afar for 20 years now. I recently watched Ryan's 80/20 fish lecture. The core idea was that 80% of your reef results come from 20% of the effort.

For example you can dose two part and have a nice tank. 20% effort for 80% results. Moonshiners would be 80% of the effort to be 20% better. Worth it for some but not for everybody.

When it comes to fish, there are a lot of great fish in this hobby that aren't ick magnets or generally prone to death. The powder blue is hard to keep, it's that 20% better fish that requires 80% effort. That's why they are best avoided for most of us.

Having said all that, I have to try my hand at a moorish idol at some point. It's basically a life long dream for me.

Sorry to hear. That’s the second Tang you lost in a week right? Might want to figure if there are any underlying issues and concur with getting a QT tank before introducing any other fish to your display tank.

I am definitely getting a qt tank but my water parameters are spot on i think things have went down hill since introducing the PB tang because the Regal was sound until the PB went in think the PB just upset my whole fish and system unfortunately : (

This "medication" won't be effective for what you're describing. I would highly recommend starting a post in the disease forum about this. At the top in the stickies there's one that can describe the necessary information. If ich or velvet, copper in a quarantine or hyposalinity are going to be your best bet.

I had similar issue about 4 years ago with a tail spot blenny I didn’t quarantine that was carrying ich. Took out 3 other fish but surprisingly the blenny was the 2nd fish to go.
