I've read some places that it is a sign of poor nutrition, not enough greens.

How long have to had the fish?
The cause is likely either either poor food quality/quantity or poor water conditions.
What are you feeding and how often?
What are the readings in your tank?
How often are you doing water changes and how much %?

There may be a fungus issue here so you should start feeding your tang food soaked in garlic extreme and selcon.
