White dots on tang....

[fireeater]

Juvenile Altlantic blue tang has small white dots all over him.
I have been feeding with garlic before they appeared.
He is still eating aggresively.
Also not trying to scratch himself at all.
Doesn't seem to bother him.
The dots are very small and white like peices of sand.

I would hypo the fish, a lot of times if the fish has ich he may act as if hes perfectly healthy but eventually it will get worse and its better to treat sooner than later.

Thanks!
I just came home from the fire department to check on him and he is all cleared up, completly.
I will keep an eye on him for a few days.

You still need to cure him, the ich is still there you just can't see it. It goes through different stages where one day you see it the next day you don't but it will become visible again and its even worse when it is visible again.

Thanks, I will put him in q tank today for treatments.
He got this about 4 days after I started soaking food in garlic. Everything in my tank goes nuts over garlic! It's like a feeding frenzy. heheh
