tang hole in th head

[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.

As mentioned, diet. Nori & other made for fish veggie sheets. Rub some Selcon & perhaps some Vita-Chem by Boyd. One of the best foods I like is a good brand spirolina flake like OSI. Selcon can be added to them also.

Make sure their is no stray currents. Also use a good brandcarbon, like Black Diamond. Stray carbon dust has also though to be a possible culprit in HLLE

my tang doesnt seem to have any interest in greens, i tryed feeding nori and she ate a couple chunks but not much, any other ideas on what i can feed?
