This guy has ich which is a parasite and needs to be treated in quarantine at your soonest. Best treatment would be coppersafe or general cure with coppersafe my choice at therapuetic level 2.25-2.5 for a FULL 30 Days monitored with a reliable copper test kit such as Hanna brand, not Api
Also monitor ammonia level with a reliable test kit during treatment and would not be a bad idea to add an air stone for added oxygen during treatment
You will also need to leave display tank Fish-Less (Fallow) for at least 6-8 weeks to assure the cysts and trophants have completed their life cycle without a host and have died off

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Without a quarantine tank you are aren't really going to be able to treat this with copper (the best treatment). You don't have corals, but do you have any invertebrates? If not, you can try a hyposalinity treatment, but you can only do that with fish:
