Spots on fin

[Kye tank]

I have received another Regal angelfish. Had it a few days now and noticed the spots like I had on the other one I just want to make sure I'm good. I attached a video. Any help is greatly appreciated.

This is classic lymphocystis which this type of fish and butterflies often acquire. Lympho is a condition and not disease. Often its associated with water quality issue as simple as elevated ammonia or nitrate and can be that of water from LFS and not yours. Assure to provide Good water quality monitored by a reliable test kit and feed nutritious food with fats such as LRS nano frenzy and mysis shrimp. Its not contagious and prevention is the best remedy

That looks like Lymphocystis, a common viral disease of newly acquired marine fish. It may get worse, but will heal on its own without any treatment. However, that doesn't mean that this fish won't develop other, more serious problems, some of which can look like Lymphocystis to start with.

Here is a picture from a Reef2Reef member's regal angel with a much worse case, it survived and healed in a month or so:
