Hello guys have a bit of a problem I have a juv Emperor angel he is decent size think about to change. I had him for a year now in a 150g fish and coral tank big protein skimmer sump/fug whole nine yards everything been great all year he owns the tank and he knows it but the last week or 2 his colors have faded dramatically and his usually clear fins are looking a little raged and cloudy if that makes sense. I have also noticed little 1/2 circle indention on his face like someone took a bb and pushed it in his face 1/2 way then pulled it out. he is also a little twitchy and rubbing a little on rocks and is going to the cleaner shrimp a lot. sorry to be long winded just want to be thorough. plz help me I love this fish he is the prize of my tank
Plz help my angel

Hi Eric. Ragged fins sounds like bacterial infection. You should catch him with the jar method (large jar) and qt him with antibacterial meds. He might have ich too so lower salinty could help and relieve him of stress.
I'm not that knowledgeable so maybe someone else will chime in with ideas.

There's a thread under All Things Salty by Anthony Calfo that I learned the methods to catch fish. It's called How to Catch Fish and...in a reef. It's a sticky. If they'll eat you can catch them. If they're not eating they may not be able to be caught as the food lures them in.
