White Tail Tang has developed lumps on lower part of the body. He isn’t eating anymore either. Not sure what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Without pics, sounds like Lympho (lymphocytis ). Look up and see if it represents what you have. It would be viral and although curable , requires little treatment. Pics will get you a lot of advice

He was perfectly healthy. Noticed he was pale once the lights were off and next morning he wasn’t grazing as normal and looked pale. Today he looked a lot worse. And now he parishes. Not sure what was the cause of this. All my other fishes are healthy and eating. Just want to know what this is for future reference.

A whole week. All my fishes I’ve had for a week. Tank’s been up for 6 months. Fully quarantined. Fish was at the store where I bought him for months and was perfectly healthy. He was great up until 2 days ago. All normal behaviors. Grazing all day long. Eating like a champ.

Yes, pictures are from both sides. An update is I am scratching the white area with a plastic utensil and it seems like the white areas are a film and is able to come off. Not very easily though.

Me too because I haven’t been able to find anything with all the research I have been doing.
