Yeah I'm going to as soon as I can break it down and catch them all. Should I use cupramine or another product?

I would also do a fresh water dip on all of the fish before you put them in QT. And from what I can see in the pictures it looks like ich to me

When My tank got velvet - we lost about 6 fish. My favorites - the Clown Trigger and Powder brown initially did well using copper. We bought a biocube on craigslist, moved all of our inverts and a few new fish there, and used copper power on the survivors. We are in week three of 12 to make sure we get rid of it. If you can do the same - I highly suggest it.
