Thanks Johnny, the tank is 180 gallons

I love the mimic tang Dave

 

[davez104]

As you can see, he has his work cut out. Plenty of algae to eat.

I can see a phosphate reactor in the very near future.

@yukonblizzard I don't know why nobody mantioned that but your yellow tang shows sign of hlle. What do you feed him? Or got him like that? I got mine/rescued him with something very similar if not worse. I wrote from work, so later afternoon/evening will try to post his picture from home.

 

[yukonblizzard]

Yeah I know he has hlle, it started after he had some ich so I did a low dosage of copper treatment for him. Days later it began to develop

I feed purple seaweed, nori, forumula 2 flakes and pellets, formula 1 flakes, and a mix of squid, clambs, salmon, and siversides, but it doesnt seem to help.

 

[danielp]

Here is mine day after I got him, I felt that I need to help little fella. He was also exposed to copper

Couple of weeks later (not the best picture):

Now after another couple of months you can't see any signs of hlle (don't have any pictures).
I fed mine green seaweed, different frozen mixtures (formula1&2, mysis shrimp, angel formula and spirulina formula. All soaked in selcon or garlic extreme. I am not saying that all of these is needed to help the fish with hlle, some of them definitely helped ("greens").
I tried to cut feeding any kind of flakes or pellets, with exception of New Life Spectrum Thera-A Formula (you can find it at marinedepot.com-even mine sand sifting goby likes it).
Definitely I would try more "green frozen food".
Good luck.
