Blue Tang developing possible disease. Help!

[CrimsonMask]

I have a new problem... my blue hippo tang seems to be coming down with some sort of parasite, his black colors are slightly faded, he has a white fuzz appearance mostly towards his front half, he is scratching on rocks and the sand substrate, and when he did that the sand stuck to his slime coat like crazy. I'm very concerned about this. Any ideas what he might have? I was thinking maybe brooklynella or velvet... today he seems even less colored too.

It looks relatively healthy in the picture so don't panic and try all sorts of things, get some copperpower and a qt ready and just leave it alone while observing until you have things ready.

I will do that. Today his black markings are looking much lighter than that photo but I couldn't get a clear picture.
