Tang question

[90galguy]

My Kole tang has a small scratch on his side which I'm pretty sure was caused by brushing up against the coral, but this morning one of his fins has a small white spot that looks like a piece of flocking skin. Is this "the ick"?

One of the best things I have found that helps all kinds of problems is to feed small amounts of food 3-4 times a day with garlic, selcon mixed with Metro and the Focus to bind all together. You should see improvement in 4-5 days but do not stop feeding, continue for at least three weeks. Watch your water quality, I do a small water change in-between my weekly water change. It will not hurt the other fish to eat some of it. This has worked well for me. Holley

can't tell too much from the pic, but doesn't look like ick to me... until you see more than one white dot I wouldn't worry about it... i don't know what kind of lights you are running but I think your Kole's coloration is looking very healthy...

I'm using WavePoint T5's. I think I found the source of the scratch on his side as well. There's a small lip broken off my Hollywood Stunner and it looks rather sharp!
