Has anyone had a tang stung by a BTA? If so, what were the symptoms? He was swimming around and eating just fine 2 hrs ago and seems to be dead now :( I am questioning the bruise like area above his eye.

Tangs startle easily and I have a suspicion that it crashed into glass and in a sense of speaking, knocked itself out

I did once upon a time see a thread about a tang that slept against a bta and was dead in the morning but I’d go with what @vetteguy53081 said

Generally anemone sting followed by black dots known as black ick on the body
