tang hole in th head

[Lauren]

i think my little blue tang has hole in the head disease, its a white indent above his eyes, ive herd of treatments but the stuff JL used to sell can no longer be sold in canada, does anyone know of another treatment i can use to cure this?

[mark]

Haven't had it in my tank but seen described as a nutritional disease with treatment being keeping pristine water and using additives such as Selcon.

i have a yellow tang that had a bad case a while back, i just feed seaweed on a clip 1-2 times a day and soaked all its food in some kind of vitamin suplement. a big cause for hlle is low vitamin c in thier diet

I've cleaned up pretty bad cases of this with just diet, if there is any kind of infection involved it's usually a secondary thing. If you can get your hands on it, nothing beats fresh macro algae for fixing this.

the only macro i have is cheato and he doesnt seem interested, i herd soaking brocoli in garlic helps get rid of this, or is it better to get those algea sheets that the LFS sells

You can also feed them unsalted Nori (sushi seaweed sheets). Pretty cheap from asian food stores.
