I posted yesterday...here is what the pictures look like for 48 hours.

48 hours ago....

24 hours ago...

Now.....WHAT IS THIS?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated! He eats, he's swimming fine, but hovers in one area under a table coral. Fins are erect, eyes are clear. I'm just stumped! Please add any thoughts.

Thanks,
Phil

Not sure but maybe Lateral Line Disease

Check out hexamita as well. It may only affect FW fish though.

Here is a description of both

He's still swimming and eating. Flesh appears to be shedding.

SOMEONE, PLEASE HELP??

Is it the flesh shedding or fungus growing on him? Hard to tell in a pic.

Not 100% sure, but I think it's HLLE... Follow the link and scroll down, there are various pictures of tangs with HLLE...

it also looks like HLLE to me. do you have any other tangs in the tank? are they also affected? check all of the pumps and electrical stuff for any electrical leaks. what are you feeding it?
