Tomini Tang white spot

[Chef Tommy]

I've had this tang in qt for 2 weeks now just for observation. 4 days ago I noticed some white cloudy area on his fin. It had not spread to any other areas nor are the 2 clowns showing any signs. The area has not spread in size either, though I did notice a small white spot on his body where this fin touches. Everyone is eating and there has been no behavioral change. Any ideas are welcomed. The third photo is the better one.

Thanks! Bacterial was my thought but needed some reassurance.

I would, if you haven't already, freshwater dip him for Flukes. If it's flukes, treat as recommend. Also possible is HLLE if flukes arent present. @Humblefish, @4FordFamily

That's a bacterial infection: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bacterial-infections.191511/

However, it is entirely possible that a parasite or worm is the underlying cause.

Thanks everyone, I'll look this over after work tonight
