Pacific Blue Tang Missing Scales?

I have a 2" Pacific Blue Tang he has been in my tank for a few months and other than one episode of ich a month or two ago he has been great. I feed him mostly mysis shrimp supplementing with the occassional flake food. I hardly ever put seaweed in there any more because he was never too interested in it.

He seems to be missing scales in a circular shape on his right side really bad and faintly on his left side. He has no other symptoms, it just got a lot worse today. Its like a hole is developing on his sides. There has been a faint outline of a circle on his side for a couple week, I guess I never thought much of it, but it has gotten really bad today.

The pictures I have are not very clear because he is not very photo friendly, and I was trying to get a clear shot of the wound.

Please tell me what you think!
