I’ve seen this on goldfish and carp and often related to water quality as they are messy housekeepers
Assure water is in safe range
If testing with reliable test kit, those are good numbersJust did an ICP test and everything was in range to my knowledge. Anything specific to water quality? Phosphates are .07, nitrates 4.2, no detectable ammonia.
He looks like one of those tri color tangs that reef pro commonly has? He is really pretty!

Started selcon yesterday. Soak the nori in it so all the tangs get a benefitThis is koi Tang, not part of the Carp Family. It doesn’t look like HLLE. I Fed my Yellow Tang, that had HLLE, San Francisco Bay, Saltwater Variety Pack, with Seven Drops of Selcon applied to the frozen cube. After thawing, feed it to fish to cure. Started at everyday, when I saw a notable improvement, went to every other day. Once cured, went to three to four days with the Selcon. There’s a rumor too much Selcon, can give fish Fatty Liver Disease. BTW, Keep the Selcon in the Refrigerator, so it won’t spoil. So I would recommend Selcon, for the best health.
rr you referring to koi tang? I gave you instruction for koi goldfishStarted selcon yesterday. Soak the nori in it so all the tangs get a benefit
Yes. That is a koi tang. Was confused why you brought up gold fish.A

Selcon is a great immunity booster
Zebrasoma tangs show HLLE differently than other tangs - the underlying skin color remains in many instances. You will also see scalloping of the unpaired fins. I don’t see either on this fish. I do see some damage to the pectoral fin, but that would be from some mechanical issue. The vague marks on its snout would also be strike damage, not HLLE.
What causes HLLE? Is it well understood yet in the community? Or is it still considered a nebulous disease of stress/nutrition?Zebrasoma tangs show HLLE differently than other tangs - the underlying skin color remains in many instances.

Soaking the nori in selcon to hopefully provide the days and aminos, but seems this might not be HLLE, at least getting some extra neutrients.Seaweed is a great supplement but does not cure hlle. Its fats and aminos from certain foods that contribute to the healing process
That’s not HLLE, could be lesions from flukes.
Here is another picture. Excuse the bad quality
You commented on my foxface that died from possible flukes. Just started week 2 of prazipro treatment.That’s not HLLE, could be lesions from flukes.

I too do not see HLLE but rather raggy fins from minor nipping and as Jay stated other issue likely such as flukes. Fish also displays light thinness at its bellySoaking the nori in selcon to hopefully provide the days and aminos, but seems this might not be HLLE, at least getting some extra neutrients.
