Weird skin on Naso Tang.. Please Help!

[bgrking]

My Naso Tang has this weird skin on it's left side only. It started from a small patch now become quite big. Just tonight i discovered it has a few red patches. Previously no red patches. It swims normally and eats like a pig... eats red bamboo, formula 2 pellets and garlic mysis...

Please help me to identify it's illness and how to remedy it? Will it survive? Anyone knows what causes it?

Thanks!

dun ever do treatment or add medication to main tank. as there is no guarantee to ur inverts if u have any.

continue to observe. how's the appetite ? feeding well ? water parameter all well ? and how's the other fishes ?

any other additives or things u add into or change in your tank recently ?

you need to know the source to determine the reason. it could be infection and could be stress.

Tangs when stressed,

I think it's fungal infection. Probably your tank is not cycled properly enough to have good bacteria in. Also your live rocks don't look live.

Feed your tang good quality food such as grotech food or other those increase its immune system.
