Yellow Tang Help

[JMarble0407]

Can anyone help me identify this. Only spot on fish. I noticed about 3 days ago. Have had Tang for 7 months no issues. Thanks!

Any aggression? Anything stinging?

I have an anthius in the tank that swims towards him not doesn't nip or anything. Torch and hairy mushroom stinging maybe.

I have a Anthius that swims at him a bit but never nips at him. Tang turns sideways and they go back to normal. I have torch and hairy mushroom corals that could sting. His or her behavior is normal. Searching for algea, eating fine, etc.

The tang always tilts in that direction when the Anthius swims towards him. Maybe some damage to skin healing?

I can’t say for sure but it might be wounds from the stinging corals. Also looks like it has a little HLLE though I could be wrong.

Have you been running carbon?

I have been. Should I take the carbon out?

I don’t know, but maybe give it a try and see if it recovers? Also make sure you’re feeding it greens.

Sounds good. I'll remove carbon and feed more greens. I feed seaweed extreme pellets daily and also offer julian springs sea veggies 2x a week. My water parameters are perfect as I test weekly. Everything else including corals are doing great. Thanks for your advice.

That sounds good. Hopefully the (what I think are stings) patches will clear too.
