Recovering from Flesh Eating Disease

[raddogz]

I brought home Yellow Tang last week as it was in poor condition but getting better.

The dorsal and ventral fins are deteriorated to stubs. The tail fin is fine. This fish has seen better days.

I have every intention of getting the fish back to relative normal and more than likely return it back to store (I was not charged for the fish) once it's all healed back up.

It's body is a very pale meringue color vs. the bright yellow as it should be like the one I have in a tank at work.

Looking for suggestions in treating and getting the fish back to "normalcy". Will the fins ever grow back?

depends on the cause but fins will grow back if you can cure the fish.

a broad spectrum antibiotic preferably one in food if it is eating would be a start.
