My guess is it is iching from rocks. I can see patches r missing from near eyes which Can be hlle or velvet too. I would suggest move it to qt [HASH=55964]#fishmedic[/HASH]I have this Blonde Naso Tang for over 2 years. Noticed this week he wasn't acting himself. Slow swimming, eating less, color very dark. This morning noticed a patch of skin missing and he's staying at the bottom of the tank in a corner most of the time. Eat a bit yesterday but did eat this morning.

This is somewhat common with naso and atlantic Blue tangs and is Bacterial. Not sure why these specifically get it opposed to other tangs, but it is treatable. However I am concerned looking at bottom pic as when they are laying down like this and bent as you see it, Rarely do they get back up, Eat and swim functionally and I fear that this tang has become moribund. Adding oxygen with air stone at times will perk a fish up, this guy, I hate to say may be untreatable to recovery.I have this Blonde Naso Tang for over 2 years.

Im glad to hear still kicking. As stated, treatment is Seachem kanaplex with added aeration. Focus on water quality during treatment.He's not breathing rapidly but basically hiding under some corals making it hard for me to get to. I haven't tested ammonia in years. Nitrate was 8.2 yesterday with Hanna Checker. PH is 8.15.
I.am going to try and catch him if possible and put up a hospital tank. What antibiotics options should I use?
White dots- Are these on the glass or the fish ?Better pictures...this guy not looking good
