Re: why is my Regal Tang scratching himself to hell

I've noticed mine do something similar. I do a 25% water change and that seems to do the trick. Not really sure why as water parameters are normally good (I do about 15% water changes every couple of weeks) but it always seems to help = she stops doing it!
