first of all did he have this when he was purchased? what are the tank water readings? what size tank is it? is he eating? what are the other inhabitants? i would put him in a hospital/qt for now. maybe a shark or someone else good on diseases can tell you what he has. bo

Are the spots black or white? If it looks like brown algae, I assume it's black spot. I typically use garlic for ich and I've heard it works for black spot as well... though, I haven't personally verified this. Try looking up garlic on this board... especially in the "Disease and Treatments" group.
Hope this helps

Oops, I just noticed you said brown dots... so, I would suspect black spot. Try garlic. Freshwater dips supposedly clear this up quickly as well, but I like garlic... Hell, I love garlic!

Guess what guys got my first out break of ick. The yellow tang i think has it, but the weird thing is, the blue damels are picking it off of him. i just started the ick treatment today june 1,. It kills the ick in two days so will see if i works. He is still eatting he just started rubbing on things. my hospital tank needs a better heater. or i would put him in there the heater sucks all it has is a higher or lower control. not the degrees on it. So i have to get a good one. so when im done treating for ick i will do a water change. you figure if the tang has ick. the other fish will. so i will just put it in the main tank and treat it in one shot wish me luck. thanks for the info..
