Im on mobile so its kinda hard for me to see. If its a parasite like flukes then its something that can be killed with a freshwater dip and prazipro. Try the freshwater dip and see if it drops off. Be sure to add an airstone and to get the ph to the same level as your tank. Then see if it drops off. Even if it does i would still treat with prazi to be sure you killed any parasite in the tank
 
+1 on the fresh water 5 minute bath and Prazipro.

Your tang looks nice and fat. Should do well with both.
