Pick up some selcon and the elos food aminos. Soak your food and nori in those two things and feed them to your fish. It will heal over time. There have been some papers showing that carbon, when ground up, can irritate the skin and lead to HLLE in tangs.
You were probably looking at the wild caught gold assesor which fun around $100. The ORA ones run around 40-50, that is why I suggested waiting for a store to get an ORA one in. They do so much better too.

Firefish are incredibly bright and colorful and would do great in a 28g. They also generally spend most of the time out in the water column. The possum wrasses out there are also probably a better match for a 28g and will allow you to have multiple fish in the 28g instead of one. You can also...
Unfortunately we lost them. We keep our tank around 75 maybe even a touch lower. I think the tank mates in there are a little to boistrous for the anthias. We will see going forward if we try them again.
