Yes I will try to take one tonight. The spot is kind of like a dark spot mid way down his body. Its only on one side.
He has now stopped eating and has slightly clouded eyes. I feel so bad for him. I think the last time he ate was about three days ago. Too bad because he had such a great appetite.  I know there is ich in the tank right now too (Hippo tang has it) and I am amazed the CCB has been able to fight that off so far. Don't know if there is much I can do for him at this point. He is still swimming around but looks rough. Every other fish looks great and acting normal (besides Hippo who is rubbing a bit). Same old story as EVERY CCB I have tried. Great for a few months and then suddenly its health deteriorates rapidly for no apparent reason. Certainly do not think he is going to make it and will not try another one.

Quite hard to see in the pics but here ya go. Its the darker area behind his pectoral fin. It almost looks like a bruise? Its not on the other side. My first thought was the liver (cyanide caught fish often die if liver failure) but the liver is lower and in front of the pectoral fin. Kidney could be a possibility but I don't think so either.

well the liver and the kidneys are in the same general region, the heart is infront of the pectoral fin. At least by any books that I've read.
I'd say either way you're looking at a rupture though. Sorry I couldn't be of more help

I think you meant the heart and liver are in the same general area and kidney is a bit further back?
But yeah, I think its some kind of rupture for sure.

I had almost thought someone had stung him or something as he had been eating fine up until one day, randomly, he started to act as you have described. Never really considered it might be cyanide...

This is turning out to be such a hard thing to watch. This poor little guy seems to be just slowly deteriorating. Its getting very hard to watch. He is paper thin, looks like organs have failed/ruptured and is getting some bruise like markings on his body (not internal). He just hangs up in a corner near the over flow and looks back at me when I go to the tank. I feel so guilty and wish there was something I could do for him.
Its always hard to loose fish but to watch them slowly die in a otherwise healthy tank is so tough. The tangs seem to not even notice him there anymore and will bump into him as they swim by...he just kind of floats away. So sad
