One of my tangs pectoral fin's has been damaged - he is basically swimming with just one fin now.
Don't know if he scrapped it on the reef.
I have a pair of naked clowns and a dottyback with the tang - everybody has always gotten along.
Please advise if you know of something I can do.
Impossible to take a photo of him because he's so fast.
Thanks
 
Without a photo, nobody can really help. It’s not impossible to get a photo... turn up the lights to max so the shutter speed increases.
 
I visited my LFS today and talked to my guru - extremely knowledgeable individual.
He said the Tomini's are wedgers - they like to wedge between rocks and it's not unusual for them to injure there pectoral fin's.
It will limit his ability to change directions but otherwise the fish will be fine.
It actually looks better today than yesterday.
 
Yes - it already looks much better and he uses it again. Thanks
