So I was moving fish from one tank to another and was initially concerned with this blue tang. After he started hiding in all the live rock because he was scared, I then took everything out so I could get a better look at him.
These pictures aren't great but they are the best I can do. Initially I was worried about some white or clear bubbles but these new marks aren't the same. I hope hear new marks are merely from him hiding in the live rock.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. If it's bad, please let me know. Thank you

way too big to be ich. Flukes maybe?

Here's another pic. I honestly didn't see these until he pinned himself up against the live rock trying to hide from me

Not ich like Scuzy said. I would suspect flukes or brook from the pictures

The concern I have is that none of the other fish have any signs and all fish, blue tang included, were acting fine before I began to move them into the bigger tank. I took a pic this morning but didn't want to stress him out again by capturing him, so I took pic from outside tank. It's not great but I don't see the same spots that I saw yesterday afternoon.
The blue tang is eating fine and swimming around, when he isn't trying to hide from me (which seems to be all the time)
Should I still be concerned or is it likely that it's just a matter of I stressed him and he got dinged up by the rock?
