It’s a Rescued Yellow Tang, that was on Facebook. The Guy, didn’t have time for his Aquarium and was moving on top of that. Picked it up Monday Night, when I got it home, water pegged my Hydrometer at 40ppt. Yikes! Did a Four Hour Drip, to bring it down, with water from my 120. Didn’t think it would make it through the night. As it couldn’t swim. Next morning it was freely swimming, but breathing heavy. We had a planned trip out of town for two days. Another Yikes! Came back, it looks good and is eating off of the Auto Feeder. Also loves frozen Pygmy Angel Formula.
 
Congrats :)

I had a little school of 3 Yellows in my tank, cool guys :)

Had other Zebra. like a Gem, Black, Black Hybrid and Purple. The Yellows seemed a bit more fun if that makes sense.
 
Got some Pictures
today.

Update on the Yellow Tang. It has HLLE, there’s a very small wound above it’s Left Eye. A larger more noticeable wound above it’s Right Eye. Nothing apparent on the Lateral Line. Left eye has almost healed. Tang is pigging Frozen Emerald Formula and Pygmy Angel Formula well. Also eats Green Nori Flake, but won’t touch the stuff in the Algae Clip. Also I have a Neon Cleaner Goby, and I’ve seen it in the Tang a few times.
