sometimes garlic will work try that daily for a couple days and if you dont get results id be moving the rock to get him out to quarantine so you can treat him

i used garlic on my blue tang in her food and it worked great though

thanks i will try daily feedings of mysis soaked with garlic but should i soak it in pure garlic juice or dilute it with some water also?(iam going to cut up some fresh garlic if it matters)and if not i gess i will have to take everything out and try to caught him. if i do end up takeing him out what are some good meds to try? i was thinking a FW dip might help?
