Kole tang - sick or beat up?

[asudavew]

I purchased a kole tang about 3 weeks ago.

I added it to my 180. I already had a bicolor angel in the tank.
The angel chased and nipped at the kole tang pretty regularly in the beginning, but then it seemed to leave it alone after i added some more fish:
Chromis, sailfin, blenny, gramma,

But the last few days it is looking pretty bad.

I'm not sure if it has a skin problem or the angel is still beating it up.
I'm thinking the angel is still beating it up.

It used to graze algae constantly, but now it doesn't seem to want to eat.
I have not seen it eat in several days.
I've moved it to a 55 gallon I have set up to see if it would get better.

Any help would be appreciated.

Probably just beat up, but I wouldn't be surprised if a bacterial infection isn't also setting in.

IMO; This fish needs some "quiet alone time" in a QT, where it can be closely monitored and catered to. At least until it recovers. Feed it mysis, nori and other herbivore foods.

Thanks Humble.

I've moved it to a 60 gallon by itself. Hopefully it will improve soon.

Try soaking it's food in Zoecon/Selcon/Vita-chem. Those contain vitamin supplements which help boost the immune system, and I believe also serve as an appetite stimulant.

Thanks again for the help Humble.

But the fish died today.
