My tang has been with us about 2 years. Added things to tank after moving it and the tang developed something. I have given it a fresh water bath and also using garlic in food but the maybe flukes came off but today might be coming back.

I got it when very small. I feed 3 times a day. Dry twice then reef frenzy with garlic which just got in the garlic.HLLE and either ich, velvet, or flukes. The HLLE could be caused by any carbon in the filtration, or by an insufficient diet. Try feeding nori soaked in selcon or garlic to fix the diet. Take the fish out of the tank and put it into a quarantine tank, then medicate the water for the illness. The fish likely got its illness due to stress, which could be from outgrowing a small tank. Hippo tangs need a 5-6 foot tank to stay healthy in the long run. In a smaller space, it will get stressed and therefore be much more vulnerable to disease. I hope that this helps!
This fish is displaying ich and will need to be treated in a separate quarantine setting. A 10gal starter kit from walmart is sufficient and only requires 22" of space
