Looks to me like a case of ‘Black Ich’, often common within the tangs. I believe it’s cured the same way as the ‘normal ich’ we see in this hobby.

Thanks for your reply,so no problem keep turning the lights off and the temp at 28 do i have to add any medical copper or no they will be okay after some days ??

In saltwater tanks, increasing temperature isn't a good idea. 28 C (82.4 F) isn't terribly high, but just be aware that increasing temp for freshwater ich can help, but it doesn't help here and is actually an additional stressor.

Anyway, if it is a bad case of black ich, that's actually a disease caused by worms.

If I’m not mistaken, medicines containing praziquantel are best for black ich.
Do the spots look raised or like it’s part of the fish’s skin?

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

These spots are too large to be black ich. The skin is actually reacting to something - possibly a skin fluke. Do you have access to Prazipro?

Yes no one of my fish i guess they have black ich it's normal ich "white spot " but only the salfin tang before they keep eating from the glass the algae and one of the fish i bought it they get stree and the spread the ich all over the fish my question is why only the salfin they get medium black spot and it's very helthy and active and eating well just skin problem most of the time his color light white and in his body there is white spot shown

I’m not expert but isn’t that also a mix of velvet? The spots look too small to be inch but Again, I’m not an expert.

You are adding copper directly into your display tank? If you plan on adding coral you are going to have a very hard time. You should remove these fish and put them into a separate quarantine tank and treat in there. I would start with Prazipro and go from there. If you want to do copper as long as it’s not velvet, slowly ramp it up to thereaputic levels in QT tank

I see ich clearly in this photo. Don’t raise the temperature, that is old advice. A full dose of copper in a treatment tank or a low salinity treatment in your display tank would be two options.
