Welcome to the boards!! How long have you had these tangs? What do they eat? Where is the white stripe? What sized tank are they in? What are your water readings for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, PH, SG,and temp?

A couple of ovservations that probably don't have much to do with you tangs condition but should be addressed anyway.
First 81 degrees is not bad.
Sg is a little low I would bring it up to 1.024
Nitrates of 40 are high, have you done any water changes to bring this down. Are you running any filtration or skimmer?
Lastly can you post a picture so we can see the tangs to better help with what you are asking?
