Ok so this morning about 11am I found my naso's head stuck in a hole and had he's big stress spots so i pulled him out vary carefully then he was swimming with out stress spots of about 30 seconds then went in to one of my small caves then lend on the rock and the stressed spots came back so then I tried feeding flake he didn't even bother coming out then I tried Frozen food then he come out and swim but didn't eat then just kept swimming for about 30 seconds then he stuck him self in a crack now has stress spots and he's spikes on he's fins I don't know what to do

He's in a 90 gallon reef with
X-mas wrasse

Talk about stress!

I'd just leave him be for a day or so!

So for how long! This won't be a long term solution IMO just leave him be for a day or so before doing something drastic!

X2!! I wonder if he nipped at something icky or something. I'd leave him be for a day and see what he does.

maybe could also be your tank size, or keep an eye on whether someone is bullying him. wrasse, hippo, clowns all can get pretty ugly (especially in tight quarters). liveaquaria says those tangs need 180 gallons. how long have they all been in there?

"spikey" fins is usually a sign that something has been nipping at him, IMO. Maybe he got stuck in that hole and the crabs got to him???

I would just let him be he has less stress in the 90 no need to remove him and add to the stress. If I was to do anything I would turn my lights off for 24 hours

I just setup my qt tank
