Hi, I’m very sorry, I can’t view the video. My home internet is down, and the video won’t play on my iPhone. I’ll have to leave this diagnosis to others.....

If it a Cryptocaryon, (ich) do you have a treatment tank?

I'm not diagnostician, but i did clearly see white spots on his upper back, right side. However, when I've seen what I think is marine ich in the past, it's been much smaller white dots that I imagine I wouldn't be able to see in that video. I had ich in a fish in QT that I didn't see because my QT light is dim and I never clean the algae from the glass.

Perhaps that means it's a parasite or fungus or something instead. Or perhaps the ich stands out on his black scales. Sorry that's probably not helpful.

Fortunately I think next step is the same or similar: get him in QT (good luck).
