I can't see the photo's but I belive that it is black ick.... Not for sure though becuase I can't see it. I would do a freshwater dip and if you have a QT then I would put him in there till he get better.

 

Good Luck

But the worms have reproduced in the sandbed. Is there anyway to remove them with chemicals, and if I do a FW did will it come back?

Thanks Alex

Yes it will still attack your tang, for as long as you have it in your tank. I would suggest you set up a QT tank if you don't have one already and treat your tank. Google black ick. Tons of info about it on the web take a look.

 

P.S. Make sure if you use chemicals that you don't harm your corals if you have any.
