Unless you added someone new don’t know where he could have got that from.

Blue hippo tangs are sickness magnets anyways

Yeah I heard that I have a scopaz and bristle tooth and they’re both fine… going to treat with prazipro and see what happens

I have found with the hippo tang I run a dual hospital set up both with the same water and both with the same heaters and bubble filters I put my hippo tang in one and after 2 days of medicating I move it to the fresh tank break the old tank down and clean it and rebuild. Kind of a lengthy process but this is my salt water hospital technique basically combining the drop off of parasites with medication and removal of the parasite completely with the cleaning doesn’t give it a chance to rebuild sorry for the rant but this has been my most successful method
