My angel was doing just fine the other day now hes laying on the sand and breathing heavy. He looks discolored but i cant tell if there is anything on him? And my yellow tang has been beating him up since he got sick so that doesnt help.

Once a fish goes on its side like that it is very difficult to turn them around. Tough to say if the tang caused the initial issue, or if the angel has flukes (the skin looks pretty blotchy). Normally, I'd suggest trying a 5 minutes FW dip, but in this condition, the fish likely wouldn't survive. If the fish does die, and you get to it while still fresh, give it a FW dip to look for flukes - that is important to know in regards to treating the other fish in your tank. Look for tiny seed-like things that fall off the fish during the dip.

I did a freshwater dip last night and I didnt see any flukes or any come off of his body. Also forgot to mention I tried treating him with ParaGuard right away and nothing changed. Woke up this morning to find him dead :(
