how much do you feed your fish? or maybe something died in your tank?coraline growth?I have lots of coraline growth so no chance of the green stuff.

I would stop feeding that Tang completely. He is spoiled. I found the scientific name of that algae but I am not remembering it right now. Anyway in a scientific study conducted in Hawaii on Yellow Tangs out of 55 specie of algae that was the 5 most preferred. Your tang should be doing back flips at the site of that stuff. The Tang shouldn't be eaten shrimp away it will eventually kill him. BL that was at the height of the outbreak before I figure out it was the RO. | |
