QT Blue Tang Bacterial ? Viral?

[cpalminteri]

The blue spot on the belly. The rest is old apparently she had ich before I got her. We’re coming off copper power now and today I noticed that round looking abscess looking thing

The round thing appears to be deterioration of flesh and may be bacterial
This fish needs to be quarantined and treated with seachem metroplex and focus a binder to the food assuming it’s eating I see also heavy hlle . Water quality and diet will play a role in healing and overall health
Pic are fuzzy
Can you provide a couple of more under white lighting?
What foods are you feeding?

Will do! Hille makes sense she’s been in copper for a while but she’s coming out of it now. She’s in QT and Eats flakes and Nori. There was def a time where she wasn’t eating though very skittish

Some foids that are a must:
LRS herbivore diet
Spirulina brine shrimp
Mysis shrimp
Formula 2 frozen
Hikari veggie diet
Hikari marine cuisine

Add selcon vitamins and garlic extract to the foods for immunity health and stamina

How can I tell if she’s healing ? The body wound looks darker now. Doesn’t look like live flesh anymore. Will it completely go away or is that mark going to stay forever ?

Will take a while (several weeks, even months). . . . you will notice coloration restoring and not grossly deformed

According to Jay feeding meteoplex and focus is never a good idea because to get the correct amount of metro is extremely difficult and the fish likely won't eat it if you have the right amount

Focus is a polymer binder and is Not a requirement. It assures the fish is taking in Metro if finicky

I have her on general cure, but metro and focus is next if I don’t see any change. Although the wound is starting to look better and she’s still eating her reg flakes
