Yellow Tang

[paul]

My Yellow Tang has developed some green spots on the head and some white spots along the body and fins. I was told it is parasites and that I should raise the temp. by about 2 degrees celsius to get rid of the parasites. It this true?

raising the temp won't rid the fish of any parasites. raising temp only speeds up the lifecycle of certain parasites, i.e. ich.
white spots could be parasites its kinda hard to tell without further info or pics.
i've never heard of green spots...maybe posting this on the disease and treatment forum would get you better answers
