I'm seeing an odd discoloration on my mimic tang -- wondering if anyone can recognize what's up with him. He seems to be maybe a little bit lower energy than usual but is still eating. It's only showing up on the one side. And the right profile, business as usual:

I've lost a couple of pumps in the last year, probably at least due in part to the fact that I don't do much preventative maintenance on them and they eventually seize up on me. I do a vinegar bath thing about once every six months for my return pump and maybe a little more often for powerheads...
