Sounds like it could be HLLE. Do you have a ground probe in your tank? Also, what are you feeding him?

i dont really see him eat the food i feed the rest of the fish, but he grazes on green micro algea..the food i feed them is flakes, pellots, and some brine shrimp mixed together. the rest of the fish (clown yellow tail damsel, and rock blennie) eat it, and seem to enjoy....

Alex,

 

Tangs require a high level of veggies in their diet. Macro Alge, Nori (dried kelp) steamed spinach, frozen - thawed brocolli, even cucumber skins make good tang food.

there is more than enought algea and im now putting in nori for him to eat also, but the mork is on his "nose" and it looks like hille or whatever that is.
