I have had my blue tang for almost a year now and it has been doing great. It has had ich in the past but has overcome it on its own. Recently I have noticed hat near the intestine area it's got some bulges. I am not sure if it's an infection or not. Sorry ahead of time for the iPhone pictures and the super blue pop from my blue pop bulb.

Could he have eaten a bunch of seaweed or something? My vlamingi used to get like that after he ate all the nori.

That could be it. Between the. Yellow Eyed Kole tang and the blue tang the nori doesn't last that long. Maybe 6 hours.
