My young biota yellow tang had a single black spot on it. He's been good for about a month in my tank. I saw the black spot, my wife saw it, it was real. However, now it's gone. I suspect one of the cleaner shrimps or my cleaner goby got to it. That's why I can't post a picture.

He's eating well and he's not scratching on rocks. I'm tempted to do nothing, just observe. Maybe I can medicate food and feed it to the tank?

What would you do?

Observe yes and a black spot can be anything from post injury and vitamin deficiency but hard to tell without a pic or too. Assure its getting a proper diet and good water quality is maintained
