Just a few questions about HLLE disease

[Metal Man 1221]

my blue hippo tang i presume has HLLE just nothing else fits the description

now iv had it in my QT for two months now, iv been feeding lots of nori and garlic soaked food
however no change in its condition, behaves normal, eats like a pig

but im sure the reason its not healing up is because its stressed in the QT
i was thinking about moving it back into the DT to releave some of the stress but im not sure if the disease will spread to my other tangs

im posting in reef discussion and the disease thread

TIA

The disease won't spread to your other fish. While HLLE doesn't have a def. cause, the couple of times I've seen it, I have figured it to of been from poor water quality. If you get the fish in nice clean water, without copper, and keep up the good diet you describe it will heal.

well i belive it was because of stray electrical current, which iv heard is one of the causes
