Hi I've had my Blue Tang now for 6 months now and woke up this morning to these white spots on its body. Doesn't look like ich at all but not sure if this is something I should be worried about or not. Please let me know what you all think this could be? Thank you!

Too large to be parasites or worms. Does it just look faded, because Hippo Tangs are known for getting stress spots? Could also be a bacterial disease or coral/nem sting. I would just keep an eye on it for now.

Yeah the spots are definitely faded. It's not acting any different than normal. So I will just keep my eye out for it and update if anything gets worse. Thanks for the help!
