I have had this tang for about 2 weeks and I noticed this light brown area above his gill and around his eye. I have attached a pic. Could you please tell what this is and how to take care of it. Tanks is a 180 about 6 weeks old.
Thanks,
Rich

Could be the beginnings of a bacterial infection. Remove to a QT and treat with antibiotics or maybe Melafix. Is fish still eating? Has his swimming behavior changed?

He is still eating and haven't notice any difference in any of his behaviors.

Don't wait and see this usually results in dead livestock. Treat for infection.
