Nope, no tangs here. On the other forum, I somehow became the "doctor" of some sort. Scary stuff. A long time ago,we had someone post a pic of a Paracanthurus hepatus with welt like bumps. One of our moderators said it was due to stress and to feed it well...seemed to do the trick. I've looked around and found very little. I sources say that it could be viral, could be a reaction to parameters?????? So I decided to readup on their stressors, nutrition and so forth.

I just do not know how technical you can get with tangs, nothing like coral, but studying diseases is good. If you hydro everything before adding to DT you will not have to worry about disease, ich , and parasites....
