    Are you running an airstone? It could be the oxygen level is too low in the water. Tangs are usually pretty sensitive to that.

    My air pump actually stopped working so I did have a powerhead breaking the surface of the water. I did consider this as a possibility, my first thought actually, but he didn't show any signs of O2 deficiency.

    A general comment: Prazipro is said to be an appetite inhibitor and it is suggested that treatment should be delayed until the quarantined fish are eating well.
