and the  other spots are on my Naso... (sorry about the blurry pic the fish didn't want to hold still) its just two spots one above the gill and one below the gill... the white under the eye was a reflection of light...


 
I have 4 other tangs besides these two and they all look great, I'm just worried its a parasite that's going to jump to all of them? Dead

Any help appreciated greatly =)
Thanks - Nick

If you recently added a fish then the spots could be some sort of parasite or disease, but if you periodically feed food marinated in a drop of Garlic Oil without added water(5 days straight for new fish), then it's probably not a parasite.

Sometimes water/tank conditions can cause disease.
What is the Alkalinity?
Is water moving well from bottom to top of tank, rolling at the surface? 
Is there plenty of Algae for these Tangs to graze on?
