Help identifying tang disease

[Hozat24]

Hey guys I just picked up a tang and it’s swimming super weird. It twitches it’s head often but it also goes near the surface at times and freaks out. Just curious if anyone can identify this disease so I can cure this little bugger. The video doesn’t do it too much justice but hope it helps. Thank you all!

Sorry - I couldn't get the video to play. How long have you had the tang, what species is it, and what other fish are in the tank?

Did you quarantine? Power head swimming is most likely velvet abs needs copper treatments ASAP I’ve learned this the hard way

Umm honestly there aren’t any white dots I have noticed from him. One thing I have noticed is that it goes near the surface and starts swimming sideways

Scopas tang, I literally just picked it up a day ago and no it’s in its own quarantine tank

Jay- looked like it was a scopas tang and nothing too unusual about its swim pattern.

Just put him in this quarantine, and ya man if the census is Velvet then I will treat him in copper
