Default Yellow Tang with Bumps under skin

Yellow tang with lumps under the skin. Looks like mosquito bites. Bought two days ago. Seemed very healthy when bought. Still swimming and eating. Possible stress? Seems very timid. Darts behind the rocks whenever we come near.LFS recommended a medication called clout and quarantine but I don't think I can catch him. Removed carbon and added Mealfix tonight.

ok do they also sort of resembel pimples a little? if so it could be bc you acclimated him too fast, the water in the fs is alot different, or he is just stressed about his new home. this happened to mine evey morning he looked like a acne riddled teen, so after a couple days of garlic soaked weed it was better and now he is good.
