Blue Tang help!!
So i have a 46G with 2 clownfish and a blue tang, and today i noticed that my tang's face seem to be covered in spots, like grayish spots, like as if he's getting bitten or something like that, but they don't fight each other...

Re: Blue Tang help!!
blue tangs almost always get ick, they get stressed easy in a new tank. i've lost three but all were real small when i got them, and they got ick also.

Re: Blue Tang help!!
i feed him brine shrimp, flake, and seaweed...i put that in and my clowns eat the brine shrimp and the flake just like the tang, he doesn't touch the seaweed tho. I tried to get a picture of him, but he's too fast! The gray spots are only around his face, mostly right next to eyes/mouth, not in his body...at least not yet!
