Had my yellow tang for about 2 weeks and his color is fading and on top of his eyes it has brown stuff on it. I checked my water and its fine. I have a salfin tang, 3 damsels and a niger trigger. There all doing fine except the yellow tang. Ive been feeding them this nutrition food now that has vitamin c. Anyone know the problem?

Wow, bluedempsey! You should get yourself a cape and a big "F" (for "Fishman" of course.) You came to my rescue, too! :)

What kind of lights are you using? Also, what food specifically are you feeding? Yellows are known for stressing out from one of these two issues in captivity.

Don't feel too bad. Those things are like bettas.....they can die in a week with no cause, or they out live everything else in the tank and you'll have no clue as to why.
