I have a purple and yellow tang which are not doing well today. The yellow tang i noticed had degradation of his back fins and I've been adding stress zhyme to promote healing. I also treated them for ich an have had them in the tank since January without ich. I have 6 other fish that are all fine it just seems to be my tangs. Today neither my yellow or purple tang who have been acting normal are eating. They they have white spots which don't appear to resemble ich but im not sure. They didn't stop eating when they had ich either. They are sitting near the sand bed and it looked like my purple tang may have possibly been trying to rub on the sand if that means anything. Their breathing isn't exceptionally heavy either. I have tanks I can quarantine them in if needed but im not really sure what im dealing with. Especially since it showed up so quick. I'm probably gonna do a 50% water change tomorrow and go from there if the fish aren't better and put them into quarantine. I also treated them with copper when I treated the ich. As you can see in the pictures they appear to have white spots on their bodies and fins they are also sticking very close to the sanded and not really swimming around but just staying in place. They are usually very active and responsive to food. I also included a photo of the degradation on the yellow tangs fins, it looks 'scabbed'
