White Spots On Powder Blue Tang

[cica]

Hi guys,
I bought a powder blue tang a week ago. I noticed one white spot on its right shoulder when I put it in the
holding tank. Every day there are more spots but just very close to each other. The rest of its body is
clean, so I really think its not ick but I never seen this yet. I'll try to atach a few pictures too. He is eating
dry see weed (nori) and pellets. Frozen food is not his favorite, just picking on it.
Otherwise it looks healty, swimming, eating.
If anyone can figure it out what it is, I would really appreciate it.
10 g hospital tank is ready for him, just don't know what should I put in it (cupper, formalin, furan-2 or
something else?)

Ick or velvet. Hope for ick

If it was velvet it would likely be dead

Thanks Matt, as you said, velvet would already kill it. Plus the spots are too big to be velvet. They look like big ick spots but the rest of his body is clean. I never seen ick to be so localized. I'm just afraid it's something else.

Are they bumps or divets? Or more like pimples, something under the skin?

They are more like on the skin. Like some bug sitting on the skin.But he doesn't want to stop for me for closer examination.

Freshwater dip.

If it’s a parasite it’ll fall off PDQ

Yikes didn’t see there was pics last night. Definitely not ick

Kinda looks like body flukes to me

Thanks guys. So freshwater dip it is. Just have to figure it out how much formalin to add to the water.

Just did the FW dip about 45 minutes ago. Fresh water with formalin for 90 seconds. The parasites are off of him. Now he's recovering in the hospital tank with furan-2.
Thank you guys for the advices and special thanks to "wtac" for his detailed instruction and spending almost an hour with me on the phone!
