Hey everyone so the other day my blue tang got stuck on my power head I had to help him out of it. I thought he might be sick/dying or something wrong was going on. However it seems to be fine now. I have been noticing a bit of discoloration and sunken stomach. What do you guys recommend as far as foods high in nutrients and well beneficial for the fish overall health ? Thank you

The videos below are 2 days after he got stuck in the power head

Stuck in power head is step to becoming moribund. Once at this point, recovery is low. What food are
Yeah, he looks skinny. Maybe limited flow and feeding more and varied food helps.

99% of the time (IME) once a fish gets stuck to a powerhead it's a goner. Usually just a symptom to its true problem.
