Need help with fox face

Not sure what's going on with this fish. Can someone give me some guidance

Also looks like fins are being eaten by something.

I'm new to this and it's a setup I bought from someone

I am using Orca Res Q Med

@Jay Hemdal #reefsquad
Looks like Ich but i'm the farthest thing from a disease expert

I agree with @Crabs McJones ! You either need @Jay Hemdal or @vetteguy53081 for this.

These are mucus cones likely from a skin irritation and possibly mixed with ich. Often, other occupants show no signs but not to be ruled out. Keep an eye on them for first indicators of dots. for foxface, isolate in a quarantine tank and treat with coppersafe at therapeutic level 2.25 For a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored by a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.

Thank you so much for your time. If I may ask, what causes this
