Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / October 2007Tang disease
My Atlantic blue tang has 2 small rings on one side of him. They are white and look fuzzy. When I was a kid I got ringworm on my arm. It looks sort of like that Anybody ever seen this before? Thanks.... It sounds like a bacteria infection. The fuzz is definitely fungus. A patch of fungus by itself usually does not kill, and the fish can recover. If there is a bacteria infection, then it could be more serious. Do you have any cleaner shrimp in there?

I would also look at keeping the tang's immunity up by keeping water conditions good, food nutritional, and any other factors that can make a difference in over all health of the fish. You can catch the fish, and rub the fungus off with a cue tip dipped in iodine, but caching the fish can cause undesirable stress, especially in a reef tank.

He's all happy now, and you're right, he's way too fast to catch in that tank. I'd have to remove all the live rock. I'll get another shrimp. He might have been stressed because I had to remove everything from the tank, put the critters in the quarantine tank, cut the silicone from the back seal and resilicone that seam. Then reassemble everything. >I would put a second one in there. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] >>>> >>>> Thanks....
