Yellow tag Skin Tag?

[BluesClues]

Unsure if I should be worried about the thing hanging off the bottom fin. The yellow tang tends to hide also. Just want the best for them. Any idea what it is and if I should react?

Yes it appears to be a skin tang and should heal and fall off on its own

It might be a broken fin ray that is growing abnormally. I don’t see any treatment needed for that…..
