Tang

[jchoi]

Hi. Noticed my bristletooth tang looking pretty poor.

Skin is usually clear, but have notices splotches this morning. Concerned it might be ich or stung by BTA. Usually pretty active, He's just hiding in the corner.

Doesn't look good
Recommendations on how to treat

The resident fish disease experts will want more details on your tank, water parameters, fish history, etc.

Better pictures and perhaps a short video would help us, as well as background information. This post explains that:
