Sailfin tang pregnant???

I have a sailfin tang - Desjardini about 3 1/2 inches. I have it in my tank for about 2 months now. And about 2 days ago, I noticed its stomach is so enlarged that I thought it somehow had swallowed my six line wrasse (as I could not locate the wrasse anywhere), but that would be impossible as sailfin tang's mouth are very small and not known to eat other tank mates.
I don't have a digital camera to take the picture, but its stomach is huge. Not sure if it is pregnant or diseases? Any one has any ideas?
 
I second that, and there is a possiblity of an internal parasite to blame. A 3.5 inch sailfin is still a juvenile and not sexually mature.
