Blonde Naso Tang ( has spots on the fins)

[jdthomas24]

ok, i will try and taske a pic tomorrow but i wanted to start getting info on this issue. The fish got stuck in transit fro the LFS and almost died. After a week or os it came back out of it and was doing great in the store. Only issue was some burining spots on its sides from stress and hitting themselves on the rovks. That white bruising has spread but darkened up a little bit. I noticed both fins have some small growth on them which looks like a parasite of some kind. I dont not have cleaner wrasses yet but was told i needed them to pick at the Tangs in the tank and clean them. I run a 40w UV light and dont not think its ich. Has anyone seen a Naso bruise like this? will it recover and bring back its coloring?All other tanks mates look great and the Naso is eating well but just looks bad.
I have has the Tang for about 3 weeks, looks to just be losing color.

A pic would help diagnose if it is something serious. If it is eating well (feed a LOT, especially algae sheets), then I would guess it will be fine. They do have a stress colouration that they display when they are upset. When they calm down and feel better, normal colouration will return.

You could also add cleaner shrimp to your tank too.
