brand new to the tank, saw him at my lfs and was eating like a champ, brought him home and immediately started hunting and checking rock work, are these lymph’s or ich?

Looks like lymph but lets get an expert opinion. @Jay Hemdal

Unfortunately, this is Marine Ich and will need to be treated in a Hospital Tank with Copperpower or CopperSafe.
What other fish do you have?

Looks like ich to me. Lymphocytis lesions are larger, and most often seen on the trailing edge of the fins.

Can you take another shot underwater lights? A video sometimes helps as well.

if it helps at all, i contacted the LFS that i got him from, he said all his tanks are treated with copper and the fish was monitored for 3 weeks so he claims its not likely to be ich

I still see early stage ich here. Sorry, hope I’m wrong!

I don't disagree your LFS runs Copper, but most do not run Copper at Therapeutic levels. That suppresses Ich but with Fish coming and going it's still likely to exist at some low level.
