I had this Purple Tang in Copper for 15 days at 2.0. Then moved tang to a second tank. I'm guessing this is ich.

I actually think that’s velvet. Ich doesn’t usually look that much like dust particles and is much more spread appart. Here’s a comparison.

Looks like velvet to me as well? Is the fish breathing fast or swimming into the flow?
What kind of copper did you use? It should be run at 2.5 to be effective if copper power or coppersafe.
