Thanks for the insights...they both look great, so I'm sure the Naso is fine, but just not a Defensive Lineman like the Blue Spot....maybe a Wide Receiver type.

Naso has a white blotch

My Naso Tang has a small white blotch on its fin. It is about 3 mm in diameter and looks like a clump of dry salt.

Would any of you know what it is?

Thank you
