    Here's a quick update since my original post yesterday. I think I figured out what happened. Another fish nipped the back of the Tang's back fin. I couldn't tell yesterday because it wasn't extending it's fins at all. Not sure who the culprit is, but I'll be keeping an eye. Right now, the Tang seems unphased, eating normally and swimming throughout the tank.

    I have one as well. It's by far my favorite fish. We just battled an Ich outbreak and I almost lost him, but thankfully didn't. Does yours ever get pale in color through out the day or just before feeding time? I never noticed it until after the ich outbreak. Glad yours is doing better!
