Re: White spots on Blue Hippo Tang......
Well, its tough, but, when my Hippo had it I did nothing. Left him alone, and made sure he was eating. He knocked it by himself. The less stress you put on the fish the better he will fight it himself. You can try Ich Attack. I've heard good things about it. If you don't have corals, you could also raise the temp to 85-87.

It's amazing how feeding this guy A variety of seaweed and a ton of garlic really helped out. Fish is doing great. Thanks to all for info.
