have you heard of lateral line disease? HLLE. do a quick search and see if this is what you are seeing with your tang. it is fairly common with tangs.

i have heard that varying the diet is good. also check to make sure you do not have any bad electrical devices in the tank. stray currents may also cause HLLE. try doing a search in the disease forum. i thought there was a good thread on this last year.
