Need help diagnosing my hippo tang

[hypert]

I brought my hippo tang to my lfs. They put her on a broad range of antibiotics. She has been swimming around more then she was before. But I still have not seen her eat. If anyone could let me know what is wrong with her I would greatly appreciate it.

Also all my other fish are perfectly healthy. I have a maroon clown. Fox face. Yellow tang. Damsel. A goby and a few wrasse.

Put this fish back into your display tank. What it has is head and lateral line erosion (HLLE). Not contagious.
Take a look at this info and determine the possible causes for the HLLE:

Good luck. He's in pretty rough shape, but if you are aggressive with treatment, he should do well.
