Hi fam,

Got back from a 7 days vacation and while the tank did not crash and survived, there was something i noticed on my tangs forehead. Doesn’t look like ich or velvet, but I wonder if it’s some infection. Could you help me identify and troubleshoot? Thank you.

I don't know about the tang, but the RGs tail is chewed up, there is some aggression in the tank

Looks like a minor strike injury to me. Is the tang still swimming and feeding normally?
