That poor thing is in terrible shape. Make sure it gets a lot of food! Keep nori on a clip.
Very cool of you to rescue that Tang! Good job!
The thing that bothers me is that places like Petco sell fish like Yellow Tangs, Sailfin Tangs, Hippos, etc, but don't even sell large enough tanks to support those fish. People assume that they will be fine because they are purchasing from a reputable dealer, but aren't educated in what is required to maintain those fish.
This is Robert's GF. I thought about turning this shmuck in for animal abuse but i figured they would have just laughed at the phone call cause it is "just a fish" as they would say. Anyway, I went on his rescue mission with him last night to a shady part of LA. We named the blue tang 47th. He is so happy to be swimming around now but still needs a bigger tank. We are taking him tomorrow to his bigger home for better rehab. Here are a few pics of his holes, bad skin and fins. Such neglect and so sad. But he has a lot of spunk!

The fish was moved to a 125 with little rock work and doing great. He is thriving and the guy who has him says the hlle is going away.
