Tangs have holes in head?

[JARRETT SHARK]

I have a hippo tang and salfin tang that have holes in head. I read there is no cure for it? I was told to keep up with water changes and feed garlic. Also to have ground probes and I all ready have them

Any imput??

I've seen 'improvements' but it takes awhile, I add garlic or selcon to food once a day

good advice... varied diet with lots of greens some soaked in a vitamin suppliment like Selcon and good water quality will help

my water quality I think is perfect in my tank? I try the greens

I had that a while back with my hippo tang. Obtaining better water quality and more garlic infused greens helped him out a lot, but never totally cleaned him up.

yep like I told you garlic and keep up feeding tangs love sperinula. Also feed sea weed infused with garlic. HMMMMM sound like a good meal.

I would also recommend finding the cause - nutrient deficiency is not the only cause or MHLLE.
