Hi guys
I'm relatively new to the hobby and that's my first thread here... looking for some help to identify what is on with my Yellow Tang.
Since a week I had my baby Yellow Tang that is about 2 inches now, I noticed a little whiteish spot on his dorsal fin. A month has passed now, and it seems like the spot got a little bigger. It's the only spot, and the fish eats/acts completely normal.
My tank is running for about 6 months and the Tang was the last addition. PH is set at 8.2, salinity 1.023, temp 74°, 0ppm ammonia, 0ppm nitrite and nitrate has never passed 40ppm since I'm pretty religious with weekly or byweekly 30% water changes. It's a 75gallon 4 feet long, with 2 clown and 2 chromis, and some small Euphylia and zoa corals. Please don't be too harsh on the topic tang-on-a-75g the little guy was my wife's love at first sight and we are ready to get him a bigger tank when the time comes.
Can that spot be the Lymphocystis virus? He doesn't seem stressed at all and eats like he has never eaten before. I didn't want to put him through freshwater dips and get his immune system even lower if that's not necessary.
Thank you for any input
