mid-island reef is on a distinguished road
Default re: Un-happy Kole Tang

Hey Gary...
Is the dis-coloration around the head area or along the lateraline? Tangs are very prone to this problem and it can be caused my not enough vitamin C in the diet. I had a Regal with a similar problem and cured it ( although it too forever) with liquid Vitamin C and Kent marine Zeocon. I agree with the above suggestions that they must have LOTS and Lots of veggies in their diet. I have a Kole , Regal and a small Yellow in my main reef and they get Nori and Formula II soaked in Garlic every day.

Just my 10 cents worth ...

Cheers
