. Help Please. I am a new saltwater tank owner x 2-months. I have a 30gallon marine tank with 5 small fish (2 damsels, 1 tang, 1 foxface, 1 clown, & 2 starfish). Recently I've noted two events:
My yellow tang has developed what appear to be red spots on the body near the fins (almost like internal hemorrhages). The tang is acting fine and eating, however, I'm not sure what the diagnosis is or what the treatment is? I had my water checked at the store - all was well except for slightly low pH 7.8. That is being corrected at this time. I started adding UltraCure BX Gel-Tek to the food per my aquarium store.
Has anyone seen this or know how to treat the condition? Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
The second event - one of my starfish seems to have "broken" part of one of its limbs. I don't know how this occurred, however, I imagine it will grow back. Is this common?
Thanks.
