I bought a yellow tang 3 days ago, it looked very healthy at the store swimming normally. when i brought it home it was on laying on its side. I figured it was because of stress but didnt add him to my display tank. since i dont have a quarantine set up yet i put him to my 80 gallon reef only tank, all parameters were checked and are perfect but his fins are rotting very quickly. he doesn't seem very pale but does have some large white spots on body. and is laying on his side he tries to swim around but cant get up. he is also breathing very heavily i dont know what i can do to help him. i really dont think he will make it through the night but any idea what it might be?
help with yellow tang!!!

Sounds like velvet.

Any pics? Timeline of looking healthy to deathbed sounds like velvet but the other symptoms don't sound quite right. Fins shouldn't rot with velvet and the white or golden spots should look more like a light dusting rather than large white spots.

Oh yikes that doesn't look like velvet. I wonder if that may have been uronema. Hopefully someone better at disease id can chime in.
