now if i could just get him to sit still for a goo pic. these are as good as i could get. hope its enough. as you can see in a few it look very symetrical

For treatment if parasites I do a freshwater dip. Put the fish in small bucket of ro water (same temp) for 5 minutes then back into the qt tank. The fish will survive the 5 minutes in freshwater and the parasites won't. My blue morph would get them from time to time. Always looked perfect after 2 days back in the tank. Good luck

i tried to get some good ones showing how its symertical. The spots match from one side of the face to the other and how they follow the lines of the face.

Doesn't look like ich. May be hlle may be fungal. Hard to say. I'd say keep water params excellent and feed well. For faster results, an antibiotic like maracyn2 for one round should do the trick.

I have a Tomini now, its face was all pitted white until I changed/stopped carbon...
I'd stop using carbon for a while, see what happens.
...and if you do use it, go for the expensive stuff BRS sells

actually, my tomini didnt look like that, but my regal does from time to time. when he freaks/stresses out about something.

well not like white spots. just pitted looking like last dude said. it goes away quickly though. i dont know what it is. none of my fishes have had any disease. so THERE ive been thankful.(TRUST me, im knocking on wood right now)

Hope you figure it out.

It appears to be HLLE along with his nostrils. Ctenochaetus tangs are known detritivores and detritus had been even more prominent in gut analysis than algae in some instances. So, a bare QT tank isn't a very good place for them long term and may be contributing to the HLLE. Nor is a tank that is free of detritus for any reason.

The only maracyn two i found is for freshwater. it dosent look like hole in head to me. there is no pitting at all. i will treat for hlle an see what happens. any more ideas?
