I’m new to R2R however I’m in serious need of help, I have a Yellow Eye Kole Tang that has recently developed a large whiteish transparent spot near its tail, I’m hoping someone can give me some information in regards to what this is, and maybe some way to treat this. I’m not sure if it’s a disease or I’m over reacting(wife tends to let me know I can)

No signs of discomfort from fish and eats normal.

Attached are the best photos I can get.

The levels in the tank are spot on or nearly there. also 15% water change weekly.

First welcome to R2R!!!

I think that it is likely just a spot where it rubbed a rock or a coral. I can't see a whole lot in the pics. They are blurry if I zoom in.

Keep an eye on it though. You want to make sure it isn't infected. As long as it shrinks and goes away that probably all it was. If it increases in size or you notice redness let us know.
 
Thanks for the information, and the pictures are not doing any justice. it looks almost like super glue looks after it sets, but I don’t use glue in my tank(or haven’t yet at least) It also seems to be getting a little bit larger past the last couple days. I’ll keep an eye out and see what it looks like tomorrow.
 
I just got home today and I went to look at my tang before I even got my stuff sat down, it appears the spot has gotten worse, I looks almost like a blister once it has bubbled up. Is this a common sickness, it’s not red or anything still a whiteish spot but bubbled on both sides right at the bottom of the body touching the tail.
