So we’ve had our tang for about 8 months now and in the last couple weeks he’s developed this white scaring/pitting in his face and I’ve read into head and line erosion but I’m not sure that’s what’s going on. If anyone could help us figure out what’s wrong with our baby that would be amazing thank you!

What are you feeding?

Do you run any carbon?

Pics are too dark to see. May be HLLE but cant tell. IF Hlle - It is often caused by poor water quality, high use of carbon, poor water quality (elevated nitrate and ammonia) and inadequate/poor diet. It is not life threating in any way but offers secondary infection in some cases.
Maintaining GOOD water quality and diet are often the fixes and with severe cases, some healing.
Some foods to feed tang are :
LRS herbivore diet
Formula 2 flake and frozen
TDO Pellets
small plankton
Hikari Marine cuisine
Ocean nutrition veggie diet
spirulina brine shrimp
mysis shrimp
Prime reef
Nori seaweed basted with garlic extract

Add selcon vitamins to foods occasionally

White photos would help with our diagnosis. It may be HLLE. Here is an article I wrote on that:
