Hey Guys,
I've had my Scopas Tang for about half a year now and for around the last 3 months he's had Head and lateral line erosion with no luck treating it from me. He's currently in a 80g system as he's still about 7cm -10cm in diameter. For the first 2 and a half months it didn't progress much and was slight discolouring around his eyes and mouth that was getting better, but I've noticed over the past 2 weeks its now getting alot worse and has progressed to the entire lateral line and face. I don't run Carbon, there is no stray voltage in the tank as I bought a grounding probe as I thought this may have been the original cause of it, but now I'm not so sure. I feed Nori and algae pellets daily, Spirulina Brine Shrimp, Mysis shrimp and lobster Eggs on alternate days and he eats like a pig. He also has live algae from the sump and rock and grazes all day. I use RO/DI water with a 20% weekly water change and do water tests 1-2 times a week. There is not much info on HLLE and treatments and I was wondering if anyone has any experiences with treatments. Thanks Pics down below (looks worse in person)
