tang

Blurry photo attached. I really need to get a phone with a better camera. Our yellow Tang has been hanging out in the corner of the tank with both of our firefish for a few minutes. Is he harassing them? Are they all hiding from the current? Is the Tang confused and thinking he is a firefish?

Hi, we recently did a deal where we bought all of the residents of a tank which was being broken down for sale. Mostly coral but a few fish as well. 1 Green Mandarin Goby 2 clowns 1 “dwarf” tang I don’t think something called a dwarf tang really exists and am confident they didn’t know what...

Is anyone familiar with this disease (watch video)? I fed a lot less over the last two weeks n now this.

Hey all, So a few moths ago, I posted a thread about my tangs HLLE getting worse, and people told me to change my power outlet (as stray voltage was in the tank), and also to dose my seaweed with vitamins, and I now do that with a product called VitaChem. I also feed my tang spirulina, and...

Ok...so this is my first post and I know I am running the risk of the Tang Police getting on my case, but here goes. I’m three months into my new 90gal reef adventure. I went for the RedSea 350 and currently have: Yellow Damsel (inherited and also a pain in the rear) Clownfish Royal gramma...

Felt sorry for this little guy, it looks rough. Opinions on where to begin? 1. Into 30 gal observation tank with live rock, macro algae, sand and pair of small clowns? Fatten it up and observe for 30+ days. 2. Right into ttm? 3. Set up 5 gal qt tank and begin other treatment? It will end up...

Pair of Paracanthurus hepatus Names: Dory and Yrod

Hi Guys/Girls, My tank is a 130.4 Waterbox, all paramaters are fine (I check regularly) and fish/corals are all for the most part healthy and happy. The issue i'm having is to do with my tangs and aggression towards one another. I started with: 1 yellow tang, 2 clowns and a bunch of anthias...

I have a magnificent anemone that decided to take a walk into my gyre pump last night. I think it may recover but a bunch of it’s tentacles tore off before I noticed. I think one of them must have stung by hippo tang because it is breathing heavy, has its muscles cramped and flexed to the side...

Tonight I ran into, without question, one of the strangest things I ever have in all my days keeping fish. I recently finished adding my fish back to the DT after a long fallow period for ich. They’ve been back about two weeks, and tonight I cut the lights off a little early to acclimate a new...

Help!!! My zebra tang has white stringy poop that looks like worms, has cloudy eyes & has white specks all over its body, almost looks like a film is covering his body. Anyone know what kind of sickness/parasite he could have? & how can I treat him & possibly the entire tank? Attached is a...

I have no idea what to make if this. I tried to take a photo but I couldn’t get anything usable so I took a video. here is the video. I have no idea what happened or what to do about it. The fish was added just over a week ago and there has been no signs of aggression in the tank whatsoever.

Hey Everyone! The last couple of nights I've gotten home from work pretty late and the lights are off in the tank (not completely, at 1% so its not pitch black.) I've noticed that my Scopas Tang is a different color pattern at night! during the day his front half is yellow/blue ish and is back...

I have had a tiny hippo tang just under 2 inches for about 7 months now. She got ich and pulled through in the first couple weeks and has been clean since. Occasionally I've seen her pick up some cuts and scratches that heal and I thought nothing of it. Recently she had several of them and her...

I came home from work today and saw my chevron tang had some Mark's on the side of it. My dogface puffer also seems to have a little cloudy spot on his fin. I think it my be a bacterial infection. I have a 155 gallon with a 40 gallon sump not shoe what I should do.

I have a Red Sea Max nano tank with a nice reef and lots of small coral . I have community fish and have enough bioload left for another one. I have a growing issue of hair algae. I know tangs need a larger tank for long term. i want to get a baby tang and swap them out every few months to...

Hey guys, I had this blue hippo tang for about 3 years in the same tang, currently there are only a pair of fancy clowns along with lps with him and the clowns dont bother him, if anything it will be the other way around. The first few months he was very shy and timid but over the years he has...

Hey guys, I got my first tang today but I'm really worried. He has many white spots and i dont't know if it is just stress or ich that i have to fight. He is in qt right now...... Would be great if someone could help me. He is in the qt now for around 2 hours but not swimming at all, I think the...

First of all, thank-you in advance for any recommendations you're able to provide! I've been reef keeping for about 3.5 years and enjoy the challenges of it. I've made the rookie mistakes and tried to learn from all of them. I was able to hook up with an awesome LFS where I lived and they were...

Hi everyone, hope you’re doing well. Today I introduced a 2 inch yellow Kole eye tang into my 75 gallon tank and I’m having some aggression. I currently have a canary blenny, a cardinal, a flasher wrasse, a leopard wrasse, and a sleeper head goby. My leopard wrasse was in the sand when I...

I have a yellow tang that seems to have an isopod attached to it. What would you recommend for treatment? Is it dangerous? We removed the beast with tweezers. It took some fin with it. Fish seems OK for the ordeal. Here are some pics

Hi Reef2Reef, I got a scopas tang from Reef-A-Palooza and I am wondering how you guys get tangs to start eating nori. I’m worried that he won’t last long if he doesn’t start eating so any advice is welcome.

Hear me out So I’ve had my ten gallon reef tank setup for around 3 months and my mother bought a baby blue tang from the LFS because she wanted a dory. I don’t know much about blue tangs since I only had a pair of juvenile clownfish for less than a month but when I searhed it up it says they...

Hi All, I have a Kole Tang and clown in QT that appear to have fin rot. I've just completed a 10 day treatment of Kanaplex and Furan 2, and now it seems the Tang is not eating. I've read that antibiotics can be an appetite suppressant, but for how long do the affects last? Also, will the fins...

I have a tank with a 5.5 inch desjardini, a 4 inch powder blue, and a 3 inch blue hippo. They were added at the same time and have been getting along with literally no aggression for about 6 months now. But in the last few days I have noticed the powder blue occasionally chasing the blue hippo...
