Is your tang still feeding? How is it behaving differently? I was thinking ich until I saw the photo. It appears to either be physical trauma (scrapped itself against something, or fought with another fish). It could also be fungus but it's hard to tell from the photo.

FWIW, the tang looks very healthy and fat otherwise. It might not be anything to worry about; the tang could just be acting differently due to changes in the water conditions.

Yeah, I also think those might be scrapes. If he has been "wired" he has probably been darting into the rockwork right?

For what its worth, my hippo tang has had those odd patches of white pop up from time to time. I always assumed he scuffed himself on a rock, they went away after a few days.

My hippo tang has always been a bit "wired" so I sympathize with you. Does he have any other open swimming fish, even a nice chromis, who he can "hang" with? I found that really helped my hippo to calm down a bit.

Thank to you guys, It seems ok, I have noticed that blue surgeons 1 week every three months or so appear 1 to 6 spots like ich and then disappear I read is normal in surgeons have you heard anything like it?
