Ich or velvet?

I noticed my yellow tang has white spots and white patches on the skin and I was wondering if this is ich or velvet, thank you in advance for the help.

That’s not velvet. It’s either ich or mucus plugs. Seeing some spots on the fins tells me this is ich.

You’ll need to treat all exposed fish away from all corals an invertebrates with either chelated copper or hyposalinity. I can walk you through those treatments if you wish.
