If the rock is in a separate container change 100% of the water. Then wait and see if the nitrates return, if they do repeat until they don't.

It's looks like it could be an Atlantic blue tang from the Caribbean, it may be in the transition from juvenile to adult. Does it look like it's got horizontal lines forming on the body?
