hawiian yellow tang

I have a yellow tang who i thought had something stuck to his front right fin. Its white and looks like a peice of something stuck to it. It has now been there for many days and im not sure what it is. Its somewhat loose on the fin and looks like it could fall off but has not. Should i throw some mediflex in the tank just to be sure?

 

can you get a picture of it?

 

we need photos and you want to stay as far away from meds and chemicals as possible. They are more of a last resort.

 

Finally got one

I have been trying and trying and this is all i can get for pictures. Ill keep trying but yellow tangs dont stay still for long. The one is in focus well but to far away. Hope this helps, i think this is growing bigger.

 

Dont all yellow tangs have a white spot on their tail fin?

 

Yes on the tail its actually a defence weapon but this is on a front fin

 

I just realized it is growing on his 2 little bottom fins as well!! UH OH!! I fear a fin fungus. What shoud i do!!

 

isopod parasite?

Do you have any shrimp in the tank?

 

looks like a bad growth.. your thoughts are probly right. QT fish and treat with some meds..

 

No, no shrimp. Do you think this would help?
