Hello my sailfin tang I got a week ago has started to get like fins that are not curved and are going straight and they are shrinking. This a picture of what he looks like it is not the same one I have in my tank but they look identical because of fin damage what is it will he die

Hate to say, but this is not a form of fin rot or deterioration but appears to be a product of aggression. This is sheared off from aggression or biting. Fin and tail rot has a shredded appearance.
What other occupants are in the tank with this fish?

Tried looking through posts for some info. Can you give some details on your tank? Size, full tank pic and inhabitants might help.

Can you post a picture or video of your actual fish?
