I don't think I would try to catch him for quarantine unless you need to treat him for infection. I wouldnt want to add any more stress.

They typically display patches of white when they've been stressed. That should go away quickly.

Yah, him being caught in the rock, probably caused him to freak out, which is a good chance of what caused the blotches. GL with your fishy

7 years...I'm very sorry to hear that. I've only had my Naso for 8 months and I'm already quite fond of him.

I think that they are a very slow growing tang. I had one for close to three years and it maybe grew about 1/2" or so. I know of another person with the same experience.

Please feed your fish!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone that has a Naso Tang that is slow growing has either poor water quality and or poor feeding!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your average Naso that you purchase at 4" in length should be pushing 12"+ within 1 year. Your average feeder goldfish reaches 12"-18", but in reality they are usually feed a crap diet and live in dirty water and reach a measely few inches in length......Alot of marine species that we commonly keep have life spans of 20+ years, when you purchase your "little" fish they are a juvinile!!! as in "baby" expect to still be caring for them when your kids have left home.your Naso possibly led a very short life with a major in starvation. Naso tangs should look like a football and are very expensive to feed!!! I should start a new thread about this epedemic in our industry.........I dont mean to pick on any one person, I think most folks strive to care for their livestock but fail due to misinformation, and simple iggnorance(they just dont know). at least with forums such as this one, we as a collective can help educate one another.
