convict tang with lymphocystis?

[daisy]

do you agree with the diagnosis?

Looks like it. It should clear up. Is that the one you got from the swap?

Thank you, Mike!

In fact, it IS the one I got from the swap. Other than cauliflower, it's doing great - has no problems with its new mates and has totally gone to work on the algae in the system. I'm hoping it recovers nicely - such a lovely fish, and it reminds me of my trip to Hawaii! This was EASILY the most gregarious and abundant fish I saw there.

why i wanted the convict tang - I took this pic off the North Shore in Hawaii last summer

I probably saw a hundred of these fish in two weeks!

I have a very large one in my tank. They're pretty docile and usually don't bother any other fish. As they get larger the white on top turns a golden color. Dotr had the ones from Hawaii, which are the better ones to get.

Agreed, looks like lymphocystis and definitely NOT ich. Phew!

It's adorable btw, can't wait to see it!

p.s. Yay baby Pocillopora in the upper right corner!!!

I gotta say, this virus is not slowing this fish down one tiny bit! It is just as busy as these fish are in Hawaii - constantly on the go, always picking at anything that might possibly have some algae growing on it... I'm gonna have to invest in nori!
