Hippo Tang with White Blotches

[MrVulpinus]

I have hippo tang which has had some minor lateral line erosion.

I have kept a constant supply of seaweed in his tank since, to try and help the problem. A few days later the problem does not seem any better, and now there are white blotches directly behind his eyes.

I will try and post some pictures later, I am very busy right now.

Any help is greatly appreciated,
Mr. Vulpinus

From what I have read, the best "cure" for lateral line erosion on a blue hippo tang is
1.) Water quality
2.) Feed quality foods. Add selcon/zoe / vitamins to the food.

If both of these are met, it should get better over time.

+!...."Time" is a key factor. HLLE doesn't clear up overnight, but isn't dangerous, at this stage,either.

+1.... Good water quality, mixed good diet, and a little vitamins, should help slow the progression down and get your hypo back to being 100%
