Sounds like Head Line Lateral Errosion. Some people call it hole in the head disease. Was there errosion along the lateral line?

I was thinking along the same lines..Just wasnt aware that it happned that fast...

Sometimes these things appear overnight. Tangs are prone to this condition. Yellow tangs are cheap enough, just replace him. It will make you feel better.
