Today i noticed white spots on my Atlantic blue. They dont appear to be ick. it looks like his skin is bleaching. He is not acting strange. i dont think it is irritating. Nothing has been introduced to the tank in over a year. tank mates include 2 cardinal fish, snails, 1 hermet crab. I did change seaweed brands two weeks ago. from Juliani Sprungs to off brand orchids. this is sold as sushi nori at the supermarket. Im going to discontinue use immediately and switch back to Julians. I would like to know if anyone knows what the spots are and if there is any treatment?
Atlantic Blue Tang Spots?

I don't think that the Nori caused this, but I would change back anyway because the resturant nori is certainly toasted and will not have any vitamin C to speak of - I'm pretty sure that the Sprung brand is air-dried.
+1 on the coral sting, Except that the spots along the back are NOT the usual place where fish like this get stung - more often around the mouth, tail and belly - first points of contact.
For now I would watch the spots and see if they heal and redevelop, or spread (using past pictures for reference).
