There may have been some spots, I don't remember. That was from their display tank and those fish where not from sale. Considering it is a blue hippo tang, I would be surprised not to see ich on a new one in a newly setup tank.
This is going to be a full LFS which should be pretty cool. They have tanks setup for fish and inverts and sell the full lines of elos additives, foods, and test kits. Working on them as a sponsor as well.
I took some pics when I was there and just got around to uploading them. These are not the best pics, was just firing away.
Coral display tanks, there are 4 of these each like 400 gallons. These will be stocked with coral for sale and fish just for show.

Yeah we already joked when we got it in the house we would take pictures of Nikki inside of it. Will have much more detailed thread up in tale of the tank when we actually get this things rolling. As it stands now we are probably looking at mid July between getting the tank and getting the...
Remember that corals extend their feeding tentacles at night, we artificially coax them out during the day. If the colors and growth are good I would not be too worried. If you want to try chemically coaxing them out I would look for some amino acids (Elos, aquavitro fuel, zeo) or pohls extra...
