I have a Yellow Tang and His skin is Turning red in some areas. He doesn't act sick or in pain. Has anyone seen this or have any suggestions?
Thank you

Petecchial, which is a fancy way of saying "bloody body and fin streaking." This isn't a parasitic or bacterial thing, but usually just a result of poor water quality that causes minor injuries ranging from outright ammonia burns to minor scratches and injuries that won't heal. Think of it as a raw, fishy rash. Get the water quality in shape, give it enough space, and get it on a good diet enriched with vitamins and the streaks will heal on their own. (This isn't a tang-specific thing, BTW, it just shows up very vividly on a solid yellow body).Originally posted by kreblak
If I might jump ahead here, Boogie, what the heck does that tang in the picture have?
