Hello all,
Need your help.. we've a powder brown tang who does not seem to be doing too well. He was perfectly fine for the first 4-5 weeks, but suddenly started not doing too well.
He used to eat like a pig, but for the last 2 days, he hasn't even pecked at his food. In hopes to help him, I did a HUGE water change day before yesterday; got him a couple of different types of macro algae from a LFS in addition to his nori, but nothing seems to help. I noticed his skin was starting to flake, so I added the API Stress Coat + in there; I think the skin looks ok now but he his coloration is very off -- giant black splotches on his sides. Also bubbles seem to be attached to his side.. I'm not sure if this is a combination of the API Stress Coat stuff and the air bubbles from the filter getting stuck in there or what.
I should mention that this whole time he has been in a QT tank; it's not a huge tank, but I figured it should be good enough for QT.
Here's a video if this helps...
