Hey Jay, sorry don’t mean to bother you but could you take a look at this blue tang I have in QT, when I got him his fins were slightly beat up which are healing now, same thing with his scalpels near the tail but I saw this white line across him and some on his face, I often do see some color changes on him he goes from light to dark but I just want to make sure he’s healthy. Also this other fish, he changes colors too but will keep this white spotted avatar for long periods sometime, what’s the deal with that?
The purple tang has a mild case of head and lateral line erosion (HLLE). While that can get worse, it isn't going to be fatal. I'm not sure about the rabbitfish - that is a night / stress response color change. Could there be something in the environment that is causing stress?
Jay
