sorry no pic but my naso tang is like peeling on one of his sides like the top layer of his skin like a clear white is pealing off of one of his sides.
any suggestions?? does anyone know what this is??
 
Sounds like something to do with his slime coat? But I am noooooo expert in diseases, I hope an expert can come in with some concrete answers.

How long have you had this fish? Have any of you other fish had any diseases recently? Does it look like thick slime? Do you notice any redness in the area? What are your water readings? Is he still eating?

It is Brookynella. The treatment is formalin baths. Take a look at the common treatments FAQ, which is located at the top of the disease and treatment board, for instructions on the baths.
