Not really ich at all,but worms.:rolleyes:
I've read recently where a fellow hobbyist on another site believed a Scopas Tang had black ick.I could have sworn that I read somewhere that only Zebrasoma Tangs break out with this.Maybe it's just more noticeable on the Yellow.:confused:
 
i am not sure its specific to zebramosas but i did recently pick up a yellow tang that had black ich.
I tried prazi after drip aclimation as it is a worm but that did'nt touch it.
i then did a 4 min freshwater dip and they fell right off and i have not seen any sign since,that was about 3 weeks ago.

Interesting,
I've heard that FW dips and also formalin will rid the fish of this parasite.
Good thing to know that the Prazi had no effect.
