Fully understand, I just used the polyp as an aid in the fight. I gave up on treating ich. I QTd mainly to rid velvet but ich made it through so I’m managing it with big UV and low stress . Tank at first had 4 tangs and all were good but I had to take out convict to QT and Blue due to bitingPolyp Lab doesn't always cure ich 100% - maybe the fish has a chronic case?
I would think possible flukes, but this is a tank raised fish and unlikely to have flukes unless it caught them from one of your other fish, and those don't have symptoms, right?

The HLLE is a bit different in these Biota fish, I call it “epithelial thinning”. Some of them grow out of it with good diets and lots of food.Update. The white film is slimming away but it’s definitely HLLE. And a worm. What is this ?
Just bulged out today. Still eating amazing and pooping normal

I’m more concerned about that hole on the right side of its abdomen - any idea what caused that? Is there another tang in this tank?

Okay I wasn’t aware of that, I will continue to try to feed him different stuff and vitamins
Wasn’t sure if it’s a hole or a worm. It kinda sticks out. There is a kole tang in this tank that’s twice his size
