I got back from school this afternoon and I noticed that my Blue tang, has on one side of its body white spots... It is wierd because it looks as if someone had placed salt particles on one side of his body. Water parameters were great yesturday. Only problem was low calcium, which I have started correcting with Calcium Sea Kem. What do you guys think it is? He isn't scratching agianst any rocks and he is eating perfectly. thanks

It's ick, you should post this in the disease forum for faster answers. A great cure for ick is garlic, get liquid garlic from grocery stores, or lfs, and soak the fish's food in it.Another cure is to put your fish in a hospital tank, use copper medicine in there. If you have a copper test kit. The copper should be around .15 Good luck and hope your fish gets better.
