sick Fox face

Scouter Steve · 12-04-2007, 10:42 PM

Hey guys, I think my Metallic Fox face is sick. The last couple of days he has been going camo and hiding much more then before. His energy level has dropped off. There are no apparent spots, sores or frayed fins. Just low energy. I have had this fish for a year and a half (my first salt fish). No other fish in the system seem sick. The tank he is in has only him, a Sailfin Tang, 2 Gudgeon Gobies and a Mandarin. It is a 125 gallon display attached to my 120 through a 40 gallon fuge and 90 gallon sump in the basement.
Water is good as always, 0 ammonia, trites and trates. 8.0-8.1 Ph, 78-79 degrees.
Any ideas what I can do to help my Fox Face.
Oh yea I feed Nori and a mush of Formula two, Muscles, Scallops, Krill. Also Mysis on occasion.

The Tang is only half his size and they are best buds.
