Need a bit more details about what you see, what's going on, etc.
Take a look at the first post in the FAQ Thread for a guide on info needed to post in this forum.

Sorry about that.
Tang eats fine and swims fine. He has a light pink color under the eye and under side of fish.
Nitrate is 40 everything else is good. I have tryed to get the nitrate down by doing water changes.
tank has been running for about 4 months now.

Paul, tangs have little tolerance for nitrate. You might need to find another home for this fish.
Take a look at the tangs in the Diseased Fish Thread at the top of this forum that have HLLE [Head and Lateral Line Erosion].
