New naso tang: is this stress of a disease?

milkit · 07/24/2009, 09:22 AM

New naso tang arrived yesterday via fedex from saltwaterfish.com. This is my first time keeping a tang in general. He is in my QT but has these large white spots all over him. Not small spots like ich. These are appx 1/8" or so.

Is he just stressed from shipping or is this a disease?

That is completely normal for a small juv Naso. It will color up when happy and spot out when mad or lights out. It will also grow out of this as it ages.
