i dont have any good pics bc he always swims away from me. When I turn off the blue light his body is also a little whitish. I've had him for 3-4 weeks and he's 1 inch.

Clowns wouldn't be as stressed as a tang in a small tank. Immune systems are greatly affected by stress and environment. Like i said though. I'm not an expert of any sort when it comes to these things.

I think it's HLLE based on the symptoms. I don't think its violet. and i don't have a hospital tank! what do i do?

Maybe some more information.
Are you running carbon?
Fishes diet?
Water params?
I see these questions come up in threads asking about HLLE. This can help someone with experience help you quicker. I am no expert either just bumping for you.

If this is HLLE (not an expert), you may want to remove the carbon, and add to the fishes diet. Put some Nori in the tank for the tang, and you can start soaking the food in vitamins to help.
This is just some information I found online from a previous expert here.
