Hey fish injury gurus - hoping you can possibly shed some insight. Our powder brown tang seems to have some sort of injury (or something?) below his left pectoral fin. It's not ich or velvet. All the other fish in the tank are perfectly fine and healthy. Tank parameters are all optimum (salinity, etc.) The tang is swimming perfectly fine, eating everything, not flashing or otherwise showing any discomfort. We're not sure when this happened as we only observed it today when doing some extended tank maintenance (we do visual checks on the fish every 1-2 days so it either happened recently or wasn't noticeable until now). Thanks in advance. [HASH=55964]#fishmedic[/HASH]
PS. I'm in Canada so we have very (read: almost zero) access to any kind of medications. The only thing I have on-hand Polyp Labs Medic which has worked in combination with the UV I run in the past.
PPS. The "spots" on the back of the fish aren't actually there (just happened to be stuff floating around in the water at the exact moment the picture was taken). Basically to the left, under and a few white dots on the edge of the fin.
It's hard to see in the image (just used my camera phone), but it's actually more white than blue.
