He has been in the tank approximately a month and a half there was one new addition a grouper but is no longer with us

Looks like ich to me

Unfortunately you'll know it was more likely velvet if the fish dies in the next day or so. Either way, it's hard to tell from the pic.

Either way, he needs to be moved to a QT and treated ASAP. All fish in the tank are at risk and should all be pulled and treated to prevent losses.

^^^ this. Looks like ick Paul

That appears to be ick to me as well. A very bad case of it. I would recommend QT for all the fish in the tank and leave the display tank fallow for 76 days. What all fish do you have? Depending on the types of fish, copper will probably be your best bet and I would go with Coppersafe or another chelated copper. It's easier on the fish than cupramine usually is.

All that's in the display tank is that tanning and to clown fish just set up a QT today going to put them in tomorrow
And thank you very much for all your comments and what to do

I agree that's pretty bad. Good advice from @melypr1985

 

[Humblefish]

It's probably ich, but I would treat all fish with either copper or CP just in case it's actually velvet.
