Re: Blue Tang help!!
it's similar to that, but there's a line going across the whole body inside the dark blue line they have...and also it seems to get bigger and bigger around the eye in a grayish color, i'll try to get some pics, it's really hard, he gets away once he sees the camera

Re: Blue Tang help!!
That line could be laterial line.If it is,its caused by poor nutrition.
Is he getting any algae in his diet?

Re: Blue Tang help!!
UPDATE: he seems to be eating the algae, and now i'm wondering, if he keeps eating the algae, are his grey spots gonna go away??

Re: Blue Tang help!!
I have seen lateral line reverse and most scares will go away, keep him eating his greens and add vitamins like Zoe or vita chem to his frozen foods this will help.
