    Had that before on my orange shoulder mate...its some kind of worm... keep him well fed with high vitamins foods and with excellent water quality... it'll go away.. it'll take a while though..

    good luck mate.

    Thanks! will do trying everything possible!

    Sorry to hear Gnu, its a fun hobby but a very frustrating one though! Check all your water parameters and diet...

    Maybe? I can't tell though I will snap a better picture when I get home of the progression of this disease... it has spread. My poor tang, I feel terrible.

    Sounds good! that is one good looking shoulder tang!. I will start to feed plenty of flakes.


    I will keep you guys updated! Thanks for all your input.
