I noticed my tang swimming funny. I have had her three weeks. She has a spot on her side and spots in her one fin. Any ideas??
She has never been a big eater. She likes seaweed and she isn’t an aggressive mysis eater.

Hi,

As the others said, we really need pictures and video taken under white light. We also need more background information - how long you've had the fish, what tankmates are in with it, etc. This post outlines how to do that:


From what I could see, the fish's pectoral fin is damaged (that's why it is swimming like it is bobbing). There is also some lesion/injury on its side near that fin. Did this come on all of a sudden? If so, I would say an injury. If it grew gradually over days, then it is more likely an infection of some sort.
