Is it cottony? Is that a ring on it? or is it the pic?
If it is cottony look up lymphocystis.....hard to tell though

No i didnt see anything on the disease forum thats similar to this. I feed him formula 1 formula 2 flake food, Green seaweed and he likes the Angel Formula. He doesnt eat the mysis shrimp or silversides. My water temp is 78 degrees, salt level is at 1.018, Ammonia 0, Nitrite 0 nitarate is high in the 40 range, Ph ranges from 7.9 to 8.0. All the other fish look great.

hmmmm....salinity is a little low....should be closer to 1.025
Food may be an issue too....You can buy frozen mega marine algae, do you give vitamins? I think it may need some vitamins too.
I am looking at a possible nutrition thing here (grasping)

Yeah it is a little low usually i keep it around 1.020 to 1.021. Yeah i soak some vitamins in the seasweed just not all the time. 1 more week and it will be 9 months since ive had him so im not sure if its the food nutrition thats the problem? Hes a pretty fat fish.

tangs bruise very easilly ,do you notice any rock out of place?
if he got caught between rock this could have shaved off some skin .it wont always be red like you would think.
my achilles will sometimes get after my fowleri and he will get a bruise white like that and it goes away within a week.
they are now back in my dt from the qt and he is all healed up.
