Sorry if it came out a bit harsh but what's going on with my yellow tang? My suspicion is that my purple tang is picking on it

Looks like he's getting beat up for sure. How long have you had the YT and PT together?
It's odd because I've had my YT longer than the PT and the YT used to be the bully but I've seen that the purple has gotten fatter so I'm suspecting that's the culprit

That looks like aggression and now an infection as said. I’d remove the aggressor as that behavior isn’t likely to improve.

Agree with this!
