And they are a spectacular site. Makes me re-think my love of corals.

I think a lot of fish together look really good in the ocean.

After several years of searching I've finally located the last tang for my tank. It's a Fowler's tang, I picked him up last week. Unfortunately he's blind or atleast partially blind. This is the second one I've received that has been blind. Has anyone ever heard of this shipping blindness? There are no visible problems with his eyes. The dealer has been really good about it and is getting me another one no charge, but is a little stumped why the fish keep arriving blind. Here are some pics. It's definately my favourite tang.

i had a leaflip grouper go blind after moving it into another tank. im quite shure it poisoned its self and the others i moved it with, i kind of doubt thats what happened to the tangs but it is strange that it would happen twice.

To me it seems to be a brain issue. I'm wondering if has to do with the pH change during shipping or perhaps hypoxia. As far as I can see there is no pathogen. He has some skin flukes, but I've never heard of them causing blindness.

Wow!! That tang is gorgeous. It has very similiar colouring to the dussimier tang that you have. That definetly ranks up there with the nicest tangs I've seen.

Hows its temperment so far. Are all the other tangs accepting it??
