Scopas tang bad shape

[jcsprofile]

Hi, I woke up this morning to this horror. I have pulled everything and put into a qt and separate the scopas. Can any one ID what this could be? I had to work two doubles this past weekend and did not notice this or the discoloration until this morning. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

The focus of the pictures makes it difficult to see clearly. Maybe you can post a short video?

Typically though, any fish with that much skin damage/disease isn't going to be savable. The fish's skin is their primary means to balance the salt level of their blood with that of the water. When there is this much damage, they are just not able to balance that properly.

Still, I could be wrong, if you want to delve into this further, post a video and then we will need some additional background information. The information is listed in this post: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/s...sease-treatment-and-diagnosis-section.775547/
