Sick powder brown tang

[Ubersolidat]

Powder brown tang added Feb. 2nd with a blue eye kole. White patches developed overnight. Fish has been eating and swimming well. Today after waking up, found listing on the bottom breathing heavily with white patches on its sides. Fins appear clamped and it does not seem to be using its tail for swimming, only its pectoral. Did not resist netting

Tank: 135 gal, 155 gal total volume mixed reef
Parameters:
Salinity: 32.7
Temp 77.5-79
Ph: 7.9-8.1
Alk: 9.04
Ca: 471

Tankmates:
2x mochavinici clowns
1x bangaii cardinal
1x sleeper gold head goby
1x carpenters flasher wrasse
1x blue eye kole tang
2x cleaner shrimp
Various snails

All other fish appear to be doing well.

I have done a 5 min. Fresh water dip and he is now in a 12 gal. Hospital tank.
I have metroplex and kanaplex dosed with an airstream running for added O2. Breathing is still rapid, but he maintaining upright orientation with some wiggles in the tail

That looks bacterial.
I would do the below as that has worked for me I'm the past.

• Antibiotics: AAP Spectrogram or Nitrofuracin Green Powder
• Emergency bath treatments: Ruby Reef Rally and Formalin

Edit: This is also an option...
Combining Kanaplex + Furan-2 + Metroplex is an old standby for treating bacterial infections

Always right after the fish is named by someone.
