three days ago i noticed my seaba clown had fairly large black splotches all over the lower half of his body, been searching trying to find waht it is. last night i found something even more disturbing. my yellow tang after he ate his nightly algae he crapped it out and a bunch of short worms. the worms were clearish and segmented. the were up to 3/4" long . the even worse thing is that all my other fish ate them when they came out. and something even worse is i just took down and put back up this tank 2 weeks ago to do some major upgrading. that was when i had all the fish in a separate container. now i will probabally have to take the tank down again...


what is it

help

The clown could just be showing signs of hypermelinization due to a coral it is hosting in stinging it. Try a search on this. Tang, Yuck fish eatting poopy worms. I would suspect you would need to de worm all the fish for sure. Jungle makes a food that is suppose to have the de worming igredient in it but I am not sure if it works better than getting the worm stuff from the vet.
