    Hi I have a large yellow Tang that 2 weeks ago stared doing weird things. When the light is on he will rub up against the l/r and sand bed, like he is scratching his back/side, now my Trigger is doing the same thing. I checked ALL levels of my water and had the lfs also check everthing is fine. Does anybody know what is going on? Their colors and eyes look good. I aslo have a squirl fish, and a lion fish no problems with them.

    That sounds like ick. When you look at them very close do they have white spots on them?
