Stressed Fish

[xabo]

On Tuesday removed a Gem Tang from QT and placed in DT. Fish was harrassed by Black and Bariene Tang and hasn't eaten since Tuesday. Fins have healed but eyes look slightly swollen and cloudy.

Removed the other Tangs and placed in sump. Should I remove the Gem and treat or do you think she'll recuperate by leaving her in DT alone for a while?

Thanks

Tank size? How long was the fish in quarantine?

The tank is a 220 gal. reef and fish was in QT for about 30 days. The cloudiness is in one eye and appeared after being harassed by the other tangs.

Poor guy. Fish are so mean!

My Achilles's eye used to be like that. But recovered himself in few days (at that time, I had no QT). I think, you should move him back to QT tank and treat

Good luck

My concern is that moving back and forth will induce even more stress.......

I don't think so. Your DT has corals? If so, you should treat in QT.

She can recover herself but who knows she'll be better or worse. Sooner is better
