I added pictures of my female semi-storm mocha clownfish. What do you guys think the problem is? How should I treat it?

This it started as soon as I had brought her home from a new fish store. My lfs originally told me to add Melafix, which I did, but it came back and I feel as if it has coverage than before. They just told me to start using ParaGard, but I’m worried it will affect my corals as they don’t seem happy when I added to the tank. I’ve been dosing it for two days but I am thinking of stopping as it doesn’t seem reef safe online.

My lfs said my parameters are fine, salinity 1.024, water temp is stable, and the fish is active and eating.
