What's wrong with my SailFin the poor girl looks like she has mold growing on her. Also her flipper is kinda ripped up. This was my first fish from when I got into the hobby she came from my 29 gallon and has survived ich once she has been eating fine. Nothing looks like it has changed in her behavior but I want to fix her.

After looking at more, I don't think it is velvet. But since her fin is damaged she may have just scraped her self up or got caught in the rocks. Do you have any other tangs in the tank?

I do have a yellow tang that is fine my fox face is fine I see no blood

I was just feeding the tank and she's eating just fine I'm thinking that she scraped up against a rock myself. But I wanted to put it out there and see what others where thinking

Ya that what I'm going. If she acting fine and eating and not gaping for air then I think she will be fine. Just needs some time to heal.
