Been having fish die in this tank for last couple of weeks tank is fairly knew but cycled, only 3 fish have survive yellow headed gobi, red breasted wrasse and red hawkfish, all the rest last about a week or less. Started power copper today if anyone knows what I'm battling I appreciate it. This fish is the last one to die was eating everyday then just died this morning after not being seen for a day!
Thanks for your time in this matter. by the way it was a blue Jaw trigger

Do you know your water parameters by chance? That might be helpful in determining a cause.

More problems? So sorry!

Do you have anyone local who can use a microscope on a skin scrape and gill clip from these fish? Gross visual symptoms just aren’t getting us any results here…..

unfortunately no Fish looks healthy as can be except for the white blotches, like the one last week female blue jaw was eating and then suddenly flipped over and died, and the dog face puffer looked whitish before passing away.
 
Looks to be bacterial

Did you check what's growing on your rocks? Maybe it's a toxic algae that is causing issues. While it might look like tiny hairs it's possible you are dealing with dinoflagellates or Chrysophytes. Some of which can produce toxins not every fish might be able to deal with for very long.

If it's some kind of parasite, or infection Jay will know best.
