Looks like ich....if it turns to a fine coating and the spots get more than you can count...it is velvet.
To treat you can use copper or TTM.
Your tank will have to go fallow (fishless) for 72 days.
You will need a Hospital tank and a QT.
Or you can let the fish fight it off and deal with ich with management.
You might transfer the parasite but copper will kill it anyhow,so go for itthanks, if I take water from my main tank and start a hospital tank will a deadly cycle happen in the hospital tank?
Thanks would you say it’s better to use existing water from my main tank or use fresh saltwater in the hospital tank and use bacteria in a bottle?You might transfer the parasite but copper will kill it anyhow,so go for it

IMO tank transfer method is a much easier way to treat ich. Read the post from humblefish and follow to a T, and he will be ich free in 12 days.
However, whatever tank he's in right now has ich in it. You'll have to leave that tank fish-free for 76? days, to live out the parasite's lifecycle.
Especially with picky eaters or fish like wrasses or manderins. TTM has really opened my eyes to how I Quarentine.+1 TTM is also effective method if done right.

just a day later and the purple tang is completely spot free? Does the ich Parasite fall of the fish that quicky? Here’s a photo of him a day later. Working on getting a qt tank so I can start the fish less 72 day period.Looks like ich....if it turns to a fine coating and the spots get more than you can count...it is velvet.

Yes depending on temp and tank parameters that is the cycle of ich.
The fish is doing just fine no Visual signs of parasites, swimming around and eating well.Realizing this ich (which it is), How is fish doing 72 hours later ?
Great to hear !!! Make sure it gets liquid vitamins such as SELCON and also garlic with feedings a couple days a week.The fish is doing just fine no Visual signs of parasites, swimming around and eating well.
