What in the world happened?! [emoji24]

I had this tang in qt for almost a month already and he's been doing awesome and was almost done with qt but just like a few hours ago I found him under a power head. Any advice, I have a yellow tang and yellow eye kole tang in there so I'm so worried right now.

What treatments/medications have you administered??

Have you seen any flashing, scratching, head twitching, swimming into the flow of a powerhead?

I was treating with copper put it was pretty low. Since something absorbed it. He was super healthy and would eat great. Like with other fish that I have had I could see some symptoms but these have had nothing!

Low dose copper can mask parasites like Amyloodinium. It may take up to six weeks after the fish is out of the copper for symptoms to show and then the fish is usually in the display and everyone there infected.
So either make sure you are always at the therapeutic concentration with copper or do not use it at all. Going too low with copper (and most other medications) is actually worse than not treating at all.

He could have simply gotten stuck and died or stressed by 2 other tangs and hid under PH too long?? Was he in really good shape before you added---fat belly.
