Yellow Tang looking bad with brown on lips cant eat.
Bacterial Infection is what I think . How do I

treat in QT tank

If it is a bacterial infection then Maracyn 2 for SW will work. How long has it been that way? Did it happen gradually? How long has it been since he ate?

how big is your tank, what are you feeding it (is it still eating?), and how long have you had it?... i would say try to get it some nutritional food ex) nori with some vitamins and garlic, if its bacterial im sure Sep will know what to do hopefully its eating though i think if you can keep that going then your in good shape to fight this thing off... hope it works out

Yep, run Maracyn 2. If it isn't available for SW, you can use the FW kind, just double the dose.
