Can this Naso survive this HLLE?

[michad]

I've been feeding 3-4 times a week algae sheets. I'll up that to daily. We picked up fresh broccoli to start offering as a treat.

No idea what to treat medicine-wise. I'll be picking up a quarantine tank this weekend, but I have little hope of actually catching him.

Any suggestions?

It looks like it has cryptocaryon as well. With it degrading so quickly from yesterday to today I would not expect it to survive. I have never seen any fish progress like that in one day from HLLE. He is almost certainly going to have to be placed on both an antibiotic and copper treatment. When did you first notice the suspected HLLE? How long have you had it? What else have you been feeding it?

We got him 10/10 and he was small, after the first week he started to fill up and take to the algae sheets. I first noticed the blemish yesterday, before that nothing unusual. We had wanted to finish out our stock list with the naso, everything else in the tank is perfect. The BiColor Angel is a bit nippy at the corals but only as they are 'new' then he seems to leave them alone.

Whether we lose the naso or not we wont add a new one. My next post I think will be a complete list of whats in the tank and hopefully I can get some suggestions on how to properly feed everyone. The Betta is too standoffish to eat flake and I've been reading how that isnt the best to feed. I'll hopefully attract a poster with a 'recipe' that I can blend up and feed on a schedule to avoid underfeeding like I think may have led to the problem the naso is having now.

I'm off to read about cryptocaryon, thank you for the input.

To me that looks more like a wound, not HLLE.
