Yeah he’s got worms, an internal parasite. Prazipro treatment would be my recommendation.

Will not go away without medication, Prazipro can be added to the tank. It’s reef safe other than feather dusters and any type of other worm.

It can spike ammonia depending on how many worms it’s killing. Feather dusters in your rocks, bristleworms in the rocks/sand, worms in the fish.

I doubt it’s your water parameters. It could be something as simple as stress if there are no signs of disease or injury.
