Hi, all help appreciated!
My Purple tang has been in my tank for about 3 months now, and has been very healthy. I had to treat him for Ich when I brought him home but he did great and has always had a healthy appetite.
Last night I noticed he was breathing rapidly. I also noticed he has a white spot coming out of his right gill. Its large so i know it's not ich. It almost looks furry, but i can't tell for sure because he was hiding in the dark last night when i noticed. His color on his body is still wonderful, and no frayed fins... but his mouth area is looking like it's losing color (turning white, especially his lips).
Parameters are all good in water, and he doesn't seem stressed and still eating. All other fish look fine. He's a healthy tang and so i know he can fight through this but I need to know what it is and how to help him. I love this fish so much. please help.
