Whats on my hippo tang

[shoelaceike]

He's been in copper over a week. I'm not sure what this white stuff is.

Pictures are poor . Can you get better pics

The pics aren't really clear, but that is probably excess mucus as a result of irritation from the copper. We see that a lot in hepatus tangs, not sure why.

What copper are you using and at what dose?
Can you post a short video? Those are often clearer than still pics.
