hi!
hi had my tank set up for approx 6 months (still very much in it's infancy) only got a couple of soft muchroom corals in it and some coral growing gang busters on the live rock!! *excitement ++*
just got a question with 2 new fish i have in there the blue tang and comet seem to be getting white blemishes on their body/fin that move randomly to other parts of their body/fin, never in the same spot! im not sure what this is, it's not ich i am fairly sure (might be never encountered it in saltwater, just my freshwater tank) as it isn't small white dots but a large white blemish (very odd) that like i said are not in the same spot the 3 other fish in the tank do not have this they have been in the tank for a while (2 months, 2 months and 4 months) the comet and blue tang are the only 2 new fish (approx 2 weeks in this tank) & the last 2 i will put into the tank the blue tang also seems to be exhibiting some weird behavior swimming around and around some live rock/against the glass over and over the comet behaves as i have read they do, shy, quiet, comes out at twilight when i feed him they both seem to be eating fine any thoughts? would appreciate it |

You could also check out the fish disease forum here on RC for further help with the fish blemishes. I do not know what your other 3 fish are, but if the tank you are speaking of is the 150L in your sig line, then that translates to 40g and way too small for a blue tang, IMO. He's probably going nuts not having the room he needs. Also, it's a good idea to quarantine new fish before putting them in your display.

the blue tang is only tiny atm, he will be going to a bigger tank later
 1 clarke clown, 1 firefish, 1 golden head goby (shifts sand) there is plenty of room in it atm to swim around and or hide |

fungal infection? Bacterial? I'd check out the disease forum asap. Sooner you figure it out the better off the fish will be.
