I think my tang is sick!! Helpp!!

[tjclark177]

HI everyone,

I just recently bought a small blue tang and two clowns and put them in my tank. Now im noticing that my blue tang has developed these dots across its body and I've done a little research and think it might be ich or he just has been really rubbing himself across the rocks and is flaking? Im not quite sure. Any ideas on what you guys think it might be? I have a really good established 75 gallon tank and everything else is doing amazing so I dont want to infect it. Ill try to attach a picture.

Thanks!

Looks like ich, I had a worse case than that and I just fed heavy. Went away in a week. The algae sheets really helped as well.

If it is flashing against the rocks, it is ich. Marine Ich - Myths and Facts

If its eating well, just feed a bit more and it should go away. Probably got stressed out with the new addition.
