Turbellarian Infection

[Mr.Reefer]

This infection is seen most often on Yellow tangs, partially because the black spots are so easily visible against a yellow background. These parasites are known to infect at least 16 tropical marine fish species. Usually, only one or two fish are affected. Some common names are Tang Disease and Black Ich.
Symptoms to look for are as follow:
• Black spots on the skin with a pepper-like appearance
• Scratching
• Faded colors
• Hyperactivity
• Decreased appetite
• Lethargy in advanced stages
• Increased respiration in advanced stages
• Skin hemorrhaging in late stages
• Secondary bacterial infection, which may include cloudy eyes and fin rot in
late stages
