Dark spots on Hippo Tang

[swpassion]

I noticed some dark spots on my hippo tang today, they dont look like a parasite issue, it is eating fine, acting normal and breathing fine. I tried to look it up to see what is can be and how to treat, but dont find any info on this. Any ideas????

I have no clue if this is relavent, but one time I had a hippo that developed some spots during a transport. Turned out to be from bumping/rubbing the rocks while trying to hide. Fed it food soaked in Garlic and a few weeks, no spots. GL

how large are the spots? If they are really small then you might have black ich... and that REALLY isnt good. Any chance we could get a pick?

I had a hippo tang that developed black dots once in awhile then one day they would be gone.... never seemed like it really affected the fish though

They are larger that ICH, it wont stay still long enough to get pics. They are only on the stomach area, not on the fins at all.
