Sigh. Don't think he's gonna make it. He's definitely malnurished. But his belly is a good size, I doubt he's dying of starvation.

I haven't tried but I will. Actually I have some spinach I can try now.

Don’t. Romaine lettuce has almost no calories at all. I’d worm him with fenbendazole. I like injecting it into PE mysis with a syringe every 3 days for at least 4 treatments.

Have you tried crunner banding the nori to a rock instead a clip? Sometimes that helps.

I’d definitely worm him as soon as possible. He doesn’t look like he has much time left.

You don't think 14 days of GC was enough?

Eating aside....

Why would his fins be tattered if he's isolated.

His fins are tattered probably because he’s in such poor health overall

There is a rare condition but your Tang checks a few of the boxes.

Doesn’t appear to be. That tang is close to death. Might as well try worming it with something else. I’d feed it small meals at least 5 times a day till it gets back to a normal weight.

Just watched the video. Unfortunately, I don’t think there is anything you can do for him at this point. I suspect it will be dead by the morning.
