Default Rescuing a yellow tang.

While at a lfs yesterday I saw this little guy


I knew nobody would buy him looking like that and with a $90 price tag so I asked the staff what they wanted for him. I got him for $10 bucks and hoping to bring him back. His body looks good but his fibs are all thorn up. I had a spare 30 gallon half moon so that's going to be his home for the next month or so. Left him overnight in a 1/3 dose of methylate blue and he's eating freeze dried brine shrimp today. Using a heater, air pump and 550gph powerhead with a little crushed coral substrate and a plastic cup for cover. I'll be doing a 50% slow water change tonight with an aqua lifter and feeding a piece of dried seaweed. Any other tips or advice appreciated.

I've never knowingly bought a sick fish but I have a soft spot for tangs
