Ok so it's been a fews days since I thought there was only sand on my lavender tang however there seems to be more spots now and it's looking like it might be ick!!!! eeeeek! None of our other 5 tangs (or any of our other fish for that matter) have any spots on them? So I'm wondering why this one does. I think I might try to catch her and do a hypo salinity on her. My main fear is if my lavender tang is out of the main tank for a month while we do hypo (assuming I can catch her) I'm thinking she's going to get the S**t kicked out of her by the other tangs when I put her back in. She already gets picked on every now and then by the others so I'm not sure what would be worse, leaving her in or taking her out. What makes everything worse is that she is my favorite fish out of all of them!!!
