Tangs in qt a month

What do you think, whats up with the powder brown.

He looks severly malnourished to me. Is he eating heavily? If it is, it could be some form on internal parasite. Have you tried any PraziPro yet? Do you currently have any meds in the water?

they get seaweed and half a cube of formula two once a day ...

You might want to try some New Life Spectrum fish food. It solved a lot of coloration issues in my fish. It might have a similar effect on yours.

It's hard to tell if your tang is malnourished or just damaged. Sometimes if the light hits my PBT just right he looks "boney" like your powder brown. Do you notice any weird behavioral issues with it? Like flashing or scratching? Is its poop white and stringy? When did you first notice that big swirly spot on its body?

The tang is fat and the discoloration is only visible form one side

Regardless, I would still feed some Spectrum as well. It may be a mechanical injury of some sort and scarring.

I was just wondering if it was a disease, moving at the end of the month and was seeing if they need treatment or can go in the main tank

May or may not be. Hard to tell when you don't answer our questions or give us more information.

Agreed; more info is needed.

he doesn't look like the first pic all the time mostly when scared

I wouldn't worry about it then. It's probably an old injury that healed poorly. Like I said, I had a tang like this and after a few months of spectrum, he looked much better. That's not a scientific result though, so your mileage may vary
