3. Do water changes for example 20% daily for several days, or some similar amount of water changes.

4. Don't medicate.

5. Optimize your feeding, make sure he has Nori available 24/7, offer also frozen mysis as well as flake.

I kept a Yellow Tang in a 20 gallon quarantine tank, after 3 or 4 weeks it wasn't doing well at all, his health picked up just fine when he went into my 120. I just couldn't keep up with the amount of waste product he produced in a small 20 gallon tank.

Good luck.
Thanks!! will do that all and see what happens.
