In the morning he has these spots on him but then later in the day they are gone and then back again the next morning. I am treating with coppersafe for a week now but no change still has them in the morning

Welcome to Reef2Reef!
The spots seem a bit large for ich, but the coming and going of the spots is a classic symptom of ich, so I’d say that confirms it.
Are you at a full dose of coppersafe of 2.5 ppm? What test kit are you using?

The API test is really difficult to read correctly, The Coppersafe dose on a Hanna checker runs 2.25 to 2.5 ppm
