im curious to whats going on with my Yellow Tang. he has these red spots where his fin meets his body in various places. the red radiates in a line from that point to the end of the fin. he has no marks on his main bady whatsoever. He is eatting and swimming well and not rubbing on the rocks, so he doesnt seem irritated.

125gallon tank,
80 degrees,
0 ammonia,
0 nitrite,
trace nitrate (<5),
0 phosphates

tank mates:
2 ocellaris clowns
yellowheaded sleeper goby
lawnmower blenny
3 green chromis
Figi Blue Devil Damsel
2 Cleaner Shrimp
Pink Paddle serpantstar
Green serpantstar
sand sifting star
various hermits and snails

Set up Qt and treatment with Kanacyn .....Works great for Hemorrhaging.

never found out what exactly it was, but the few things i did find said pretty much most tangs do it.... just more noticable with the yellows. it eventually went away, but about 4 months later he died... dunno if it was related or not.

there use to be a sticky here that talked about it, dunno where it went.

totally agree w/ Oasis. Kanamyacin works beautifully for internal hemorrhaging.
