Welcome to R2R
I’m not great with fish parasites but if you make a new thread in the fish disease subforum I’m sure you will get a better response.

ETA- It got moved to the appropriate forum

It would not surprise me, blue hippos are notorious for itch…my very first fish and gotten ich and was the last time I ever bought one again

Rabbit also showing dots which tang also has mucus plugs. Looks like cryptocaryon which is Marine ich. Fish will need to moved to quarantine setting. Best treatment would be coppersafe or general cure with coppersafe my choice at therapuetic level 2.25-2.5 monitored with a reliable copper test kit such as Hanna brand, not Api
Also monitor ammonia level with a reliable test kit during treatment and would not be a bad idea to add an air stone for added oxygen during treatment
You will also need to leave display tank Fish-Less (Fallow) for at least 6-8 weeks to assure the cysts and trophants have completed their life cycle without a host and have died off

I am not sure I will be able to remove either fish from tank as I won’t be able to catch them. Is there anything else I can use to treat?

The first two pictures are a bit inconclusive but the third shot does look like ich to me.

Welcome! Glad you joined. Sorry VetteGuy identified not only your blue tang but other fish also have marine ich. Healthy fish can come thru just fine. Fingers crossed for you!

Have you considered starting your build thread? I found its a great place to document my tank's evolution for myself. I started tank first then joined, so I'm still finding myself going back collecting pictures & updating historically as well as current state. Once you create your first post in your thread and link it to your account, they will give you build badge (look left, under my ID)
