    Well, my hippo tang has caused an ick outbreak in my reef tank. I will be attempting to catch the fish today. I really don't want to have to take all my rock out. Wish me luck!lol :p

    Good luck with that! Having a tank with a bunch of tangs If found it easier to just let them kick it themselves. and made sure they kept eating.

    Best of wishes!

    That's a pretty good idea. I might give that a try rather than take hours trying to catch them.lol

    if there still eating let it be. maybe add some garlic to the food and decrease the light time a couple of hrs if you can. also add some grazing food for him if you can.
