    Send me a photo to my e/m and as good a close up as you can get ,, is the white a yellow whitish dusting and more around the Gills then along the flanks ? But it will spread to the sides but as a rule it always works out from the gill plates .. and this is why it seems to kill so fast .. But most of the damage was done internally long before we see it..

    Can you sent me your e-mail? mirandacollc@aol.com I have noticed over the last few weeks the yellow tang has been breathing heavy and now I see white spots on it that are fuzzy and a bit bigger. I have some expensive fish in this tank as ive never had this in my tank. I have 2 black tangs that will be coming in the netx week so that really stresses me out thinking this might be a posibility. If so how do I rid it from the tank?
