Black spots on yellow tang

[auburnrx]

I just had 2 fish disappear in my tank...a cleaner wrasse and royal gramma. Today when I got home from work my yellow tang has tiny black spots on it. It is acting fine and eating well. All my tank parameters are great. I don't understand what is going on. Everything in my tank has been going so well and now I feel like it is going downhill fast. Please help!!!!!!

Have you been able to ID the spots as a specific disease/parasite?
If your fish is otherwise looking happy and healthy don't panic. Can you give us some more info like how long the fish have been in the tank etc..

The black spots may be black ich. Take a look at the pictures and info in the Diseased Fish Topic, top of this forum.
