it looks like his fins are pretty beat up. is something attacking him? if not, it could be fin rot. the body also looks like it has "velvet".
is this a new addition?

No. I've had him for at least 2 years.
He's usually the agressor. I have not seen any tankmates picking on him. He is still eating like a pig. |

I had a similar problem with my tang and I used Melafix. It is completely reef safe. I used it for half the time recommended and it worked. I think the recommended dosage was for 6 days and I did it for 3. Then run carbon to get it out. Not supposed to skim while using it.

It looks like a bacterial infection. Are any other fish infected?
Can you quarantine and use antibiotics.

None of the other fish show any signs as of yet. I can QT.
Was hoping for an easier fix although I know better. |
