May be a nick or even single cell lymphocystis. Keep a continued eye on it and assure proper diet as fish is slightly thin

Do you mean the white spot on its cheek? That is just a scrape.

Fish is a bit thin. I prefer not to feed small zebrasoma tangs very much Nori. They fill up on it and then may not get enough higher protein & fat food.
