Yellow tang with blotches under actinics

[mamedina]

So my yellow tang has these larger white blotches on him under the blues. Can’t see anything under the whites and the white isn’t little specks like ich. The tang is eating a ton and acting normal. I’m a little baffled at what this could be. Thoughts?

Is it his night stripe he gets? Brown above his white line?

Nope...there blotches pretty much all over. But like I said acting really normal and eating like crazy....could it be some pigmentation thing?...

Can you post a photo (under white lighting) showing this?

Under white lighting it just looks like a healthy yellow tang nothing there

Could Brooklynella present that way on a yellow tang?

Possibly, but it would still look like the skin was peeling off.

Ok got some pics. Can see some whit blotches now under the whites. Fish is acting normal and eating well.

Could be a possible infection: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bacterial-infections.191511/

I also think I see some HLLE forming near the lateral line: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/hlle-head-lateral-line-erosion.259916/
