Powdery looking white splotches on tang

Hi everyone. Was wondering what this was. Is this flukes? Not raised. powdery white splotches that seem to be getting whiter.

Are you able to pull the fish and do a freshwater dip? That would definitively rule out flukes. Other thought would be fighting with one of your other fish.

So you don't think it looks like ich or velvet? I can do a freshwater sip this weekend. Will I need to worry about my other fish getting whatever he has?

Doesn't appear to be. Usually ich or velvet would be all over the fish. Could be flukes in their early stage though.
