It could be any number of things from being stressed out being in a 20G tank.
Ultimately it was a foolish Idea to put a Tang of any size in a 20G. So I have little sympathy for our plite, but all the sympathy in the world for the inhabitants of your tank. Jason

Okay I have to cut in and say something..
These tangs are the size of toonies, maybe SLIGHTLY larger... Therefore, a tang in a 20g tank ( a tang of THAT size ) will live happily and fine, it has the swimming room it needs. The fish fits in the tank, and he has plans to remove the fish and put into a larger system in the future. A canreefer is asking for help , and because you just right off the bat assume he's a criminal for doing what he did, you wont help him. It's sad...

Sounds like the fish is stressed, as has been mentioned could be the fact that it is in a 20G tank (which at the VERY LEAST is contributing to the problem), or could be a water quality thing. How are N02/N03/NH4 levels? Maybe a lack of oxygen too, are you running a skimmer on the tank?
I won't give you a lecture, but having that tang regardless of size in that tank is probably the root cause of your problem. Good luck.

I'm sorry I don't agree
Tangs are native to open waters and fast moving currents. Regardless of size their minimum requirements should not be ignored as even a small tang has the instinctive traits of an adult. Yes I'm being a little harsh, but Adidas knows better but went ahead anyway. He was also warned during his first post. Now the fish is paying for his lack of patience. adidas has plans for a bigger tank. Why not wait, why not keep the 120 he had and set it up as soon as he moved so he could get his big fish sooner. I sure hope this fish pulls through and makes it to the big tank some day. But what happens if it doesn't make it. Maybe an Achilles Tang or a Naso Jason

It's funny the whole time you rant on about how he shouldn't have this fish, and how concerened you are for it's life, yet you still offer no advice or help.....
I still find this all sad. And if I did have advice and information to provide, I would.. I just have no experience with velvet.. or signs of it, etc.

Yes But he has already been told to take the fish back.
and he had no intesion of following that advise. In my mind the only advise that would help the fish at all J
