Looks like that fish has been sick a while and now may be getting an infection. Have you tried a ruby reef rally bath? You may need to add antibiotics to the mix (kanaplex, metroplex, furan 2). That fish looks like it’s been riddled with parasites for quite a while.

Have lots of biospira on hand for biofilter, and powerhead aimed at surface and a bubbler when mixing meds as oxygen will be low.
