It happened very quickly. There is not much more that I can do besides try CP. I called 5 vets today and four of them wouldn't even speak to me about it and the fifth one wants a $50 office visit and pictures and videos. I understand where they're coming from. Now this fish has passed. I will treat with furan, Metro, copper and treated fish food consecutively now for a while. I've literally spent more on medication then I paid for that fish.
 
And the other problem is that the bigger angel will only eat flake food she will not eat anything else. Flake food quickly gets nasty in medicated food. Shipping of California blackworms from the well-known supplier is suspended right now.
 
So I still have the larger angel. It's been a couple months. I have her in a 40 breeder holding tank with a yellow flank Wrasse. Since I can't catch a break with this angel, I have another aliment. I thought it was lymph, however one of her fins with a growth is slowely "rotting". One of the growths is at a spot that was pictured at the beginning of the thread, plus about 3-4 other plavea of growth. It's getting worse and it's quite dark. I have not used antibiotics yet with this issue. Not sure if I should ride it out and let the lymph pass/fall off or if it is bacterial and I shiuls hit with Kano and metro. @Humblefish
I run the system with a sump and filter sock, auto top off, no skimmer though and a small amount of carbon, feed lrs frozen hoping it helps. I've done a few water changes to keep the water quality up but I don't think 50 gallons would get dirty to fast.

To clarify the growth is off white/dark beige, it looks redish in some pics, its not.
