Yellow Tang Turning White???

[bocachula]

I purchased a new 5" yellow tang. A beautiful fish.

Now, after a couple months, I noticed the tang is losing color and turning a pale white. It seems to be turning white from the head toward the middle end before tailfin.

The tang eats great. I feed it all three colors of seaweed. (RED, Green, Purple.), spirulina, pellets, blood worms, and dry brime.

I have a 180 gallon tank and the rest of the tangs are doing great. Water conditions are stable.

What am I doing wrong?? Any help will be appreciated...

Regards,

Frustrated reefer...

Sounds like you are feeding a nice variety of foods, how about any vitamin supplements, like food soaked in selcon? Don't get discouraged, keep reading everything you can and you will stumble across someone who has dealt with this before.

Update I

Update I

I noticed that my yellow tang was starting to get white and black dots on him.

Please note that I have set up a 10 gallon hospital tank.

With some lighting, a small powerhead, air stone, and i have medicated the tank with:

Organi Cure (Marine Parasite Treatment)
My local aquarium store said this is the strongest stuff out there.

Wish me Luck Reefers...

They have a ton of info on there. You can even write them directly if you need to, they will respond quickly. Medications can be tricky sometimes, and often fatal.
