Hi,
Just got this blue Tang off someone shutting down their tank.
It seems to be healthy and it's already acclimated to my tank 600ltrs, swimming around and eating nori.
I noticed a bit of scarring (gray patches) in his face near the eyes, is this hole in the head / lateral line erosion?
If so is it reversible? Not sure how long he had as I just got him.
Will try to get a better photo once he settles better and gets less timid.
I've read that this can usually be caused by many factors.
1-i use some activated charcoal on my tank
(Should I remove it for his better health?)
2-currently I got some nori and ocean nutrition formula two flake food.
Also bought some vitachem to supplement (will arrive in some days)
3-i have a skimmer and a refugium with chato and mixed corals in tank, my nitrates are usually very low 5-10ppm
4-tank mates are only small fish (so he is likely the new tank boss)
Any other recommendations?
Thanks.
Cheers,
Rapha
