The old carbon was in the QT. I did swap it out for new, but both fish are now out of that tank and into the DT. Cheers!

Whelp; no improvement. Looks even worse and is starting to not be able to swim against the flow of the power heads. I've taken him out and relocated him into a bucket. I figure the bucket is better than a 10g tank as it will allow him an easier time to hide. I've added some nori and live brine shrimp for the night and will feed a bit in the morning.
If possible, I'll try to find some live blackworms tomorrow.

Have you tried doing any baths? Any signs of stress besides not eating? Rubbing? Scratching? How do the eyes look? Any bumps or white specks?Whelp; no improvement.

No; no baths. Nope; no other signs. Eyes look alert. Or as alert as I would expect. I know that the fish is ick-free; it went through an entire TTM process without issues. I've seen no signs to concern me all along. The fish was eating in QT (when it was just him and a small blue) and pooping normal (no white stringy poop).
I'm hoping that he will eat alone in the bucket. If he does, I'll keep him there for a bit to get his weight back. Assuming all that happens, I'm not sure what I'll do...

I would say try rotifers, brine, garlic, have you tried lrs or rods?
Sounds like he's getting weak from not eating. 
This is pretty extreme, but always an option: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-to-tube-feed-a-fish.250694/

Lost him. **sigh**
Thanks again for all the help everyone; I appreciate it as always. I don't think any disease was involved with this one; just stress and not eating. Perhaps this is a sign that the tank is as loaded as it can be (with tangs, at least)?

Very sorry for your loss ... He was a beautiful tang. (Most of them are . . . )

Dangit. I'm sorry! I don't think this was disease related either. Just simple food strike taken too far. Darn fish
