Red-ish areas and marks like that should be viewed with great suspicion. Best treatment is with NFG powder in a QT. Next best option is the "trifecta" of Furan2 + Kanaplex + Metro also in a QT. Below are more info on bacterial infections and treatments with some in baths.

Some of the antibiotics in the thread above are done in a 60-90 minute bath instead of a QT.

My tank is highly stocked with coral. I have tried to catch this tang without breaking it damaging coral and I am not having luck.

Try catching your tang at night after the lights in the room and tank have been off for a couple of hours. Using a small flashlight, find the tang and shine the light into its eyes. The light will mesmerize the fish making netting much easier.
