I have a 1" - 1.5" blue hippo tang. Just noticed he has black spots and rubbing himself on the monty and anything else nearby. I know the white dots are itch. These dots now are dark. He's still fine, eats like a pig and plays with other fish. I want to quarantine in but hides all over and hard to catch without tearing apart the reef. Water is normal so I couldn't really think of anything.
He looks fine swimming around racing with the chromis from one side to the other (48") and eats like a pig.

It is going to be very hard to help you with the information you have given. Can you take a photo? What are all your parameters? What else is in the tank?........ The questions could go on and on.

Have you looked anything up to rule things out such as

Black Ick

If you give us some more information we may be able to help.
