Need a little help with this tang fin ID!!

[Denisk]

Hey all,

So it appears something came up on my sailfin tangs under side right at the fin. Not sure if it’s a bacterial infection/fin rot. It keeps rubbing that part right up against rocks but nothing else. No I do not think it’s ich. All my other fish are doing perfectly fine and that have all been with me a year plus.

Currently on third day of food mixed with focus and metroplex and running carbon.

Not sure if some else sees something that I don’t? And or if I should keep proceeding with what I’m doing?


Thank you all! Pictures are with an iPhone.

@Humblefish ??

Definitely not Ich, possibily bacterial, but a bit above my pay grade...

Anybody?

Doesn't look at all like ich, nor velvet, or even "black ich" turbellarian worms.

The only thing that comes to my mind is a possible injury of some sort, which might open a pathway for bacterial infection ... but that's not at all a for-sure thing. If bacteria do become involved, they'd need to be treated in a QT, rather than in the display.

Thank you! It seems like today there some flat white/clear thing hanging off of it. Not sure if it was flukes of some sort. But thanks anyways.
