Started a carbon treatment this afternoon and THIS started happening to my yellow tang.
If you look on the side, it is like its scales are peeling away. I thought I saw a little dot earlier today and NOW.......ITS GETTING BIGGER AND BIGGER.
PLEASE PLEASE HELP.

Looks like a fungal infection to me. There are some meds on the market that can be used for this. However, aside from this, that tank looks deathly skinny to me. Is it eating?
You should post your tank size, water parameters, what type of tank (reef or FOWLR), whether or not you have a QT. That may help...

Dear hobbyist , my yellow tang was doing the same thing,so what I did was, I took some water from my main tank,placed it into a 10 gallon tank with a heater,small filter,and some pimafix.The disease cleared up and my wife put him back into the main tank and began feeding it sea weed and vitamin enriched foods. My yellow tang is much better now . Give this a try it can't hurt .

YOu need to get the tang medicated outside of the DT. Also how new is th system (the sand and glass look pristine)?
