|  What is this on my Tang????
Saw these tiny little bumps on my blue tang. They look internal and number around 4-5. What could this be? Water parameters are doing great and she is very active and feeding well. Any clues guys? _________ 90 gallon Reef tank.

Hard to say without pics.
Could be ICK or any number of other parasites...
Keep water params in shape.
Get a cleaner shrimp if you don't already have one.
May just be a "bumpy" tang...  _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)

My hippo had the same thing when I first got him. I'm prettu sure it wasn't ick since the bumps were not white, they were blue. After about 4-5 days they were all gone. I'm thinking maybe just some bumps from the rock until the fish found it's sweet spot in the tank. | |
