White spots on lemonpeal tang Help!!

Those are really big spots for ich. Typically ich coats a fish in patches instead of spread out nodules. I would lean more towards a bad outbreak of lymphocystis but its hard to tell. If some spots are bigger than others, lympho. If they are uniform in size, ich. If the spots get bigger, lympho, stay the same size over a couple days, ich. I do agree with Craig though, had to tell with the pics.
If it is ICH, there is no sense in removing the fish from the tank. It is already there and so treat the entire system. In the past, I have had good luck with some of the various non copper based meds and adding "garlic extreme" or another garlic extract product to the fishes food. I had a purple tang and a powder blue that looked like someone dipped them in salt. I treated the system for about 2 months and for the next 2 years, till I tore down the tank, I never had another issue with ich. Hopefully everything works out!

Marine velvet has been a BIG problem with many tanks including ours.it comes on strong and kills fast. Read about it. Things I have noticed is rapid head shaking, flashing and sitting in front of flow pumps. If this was behavior that you have seen in your fish look at velvet. Good luck.
