Aquarium Advice Apprentice
We had two clownfish in our tank for two months before we introduced a royal blue tang. The tang had just arrived at the LFS and it was an impulsive decision (one that I now KNOW is a no-no). In any event, the tang could not eat for days (the clowns would literally take and hoard the food and fight over it). The tang has started to eat more and more and more (especially the green marine algae) and is coming out of the coral from time to time, but I noticed spots on its face a week ago. I took a picture to the LFS and they did not know what it was (ruling out ich because the spots are not bright white). I went to another LFS and they said to do 25% water changes twice a week for two weeks. The reason I'm writing to this group is that the spots seem to be getting worse. They are more of a discoloration from the blue colored skin (?) and what was once one spot is now two or three spots in a row, mainly around the top of its eyes, cheeks (?), and mouth area. The spots almost look gray to me, except if I'm looking up from the floor and then they look whitish gray. I will try to upload a photo for you to see what I'm trying to describe. The tang is also scratching itself on the corals and sand and there are small pieces of its top fin missing. I am sorry that I only come here when I have problems, but any assistance will be appreciated.
