I don’t know why this powder brown is so stressed all the time?! None of my other fish show signs of stress. But she has the stress lines, hardly comes out, barely eats (she’s sooo skinny) and runs into EVERYTHING. Rocks, overflow, glass, other fish, my nori feeder, my hand. Any suggestions? At this point the only thing I can think is pull her from the display.

Got a powder blue tang. Yeah looks like a skinny guy. I would use a rubber band to put a piece of nori on a rock. They usually take that. How long have you had it for. Feed mysis or live brine if you can. Mix it with garlic guard, vitachem, phytoplankton.

These tangs also like lotsssssss of flow you honestly can’t get the flow they like so definitely up it a bit. Noticed my powder blue stoped crashing into things like that. (When they do that their trying to make more flow

Thanks I can definitely do that! I’ve her for 3.5 weeks. But in that same timeframe I have had other tangs in my tank do complete 180s in the other direction (fattening up getting happy). Also have a copperband I added just over a week ago and he’s also doing great. It’s just the powder brown that’s giving me a hard time.
