The videos seemed to be private, I couldn’t view them. The screen shot is of a ciliate, so almost assuredly Cryptocaryon.

Just to fill in some details; the protozoans that came off the tank wall have stalks, so are not ich. I can only see air bubbles in the skin scrape shots.Brief status update:
After the advise to keep going with copper I've gradually raised the level further from 0.6 to 0.72 and kept it at that level. In addition I've been keeping a close eye on the hippo tang since she is showing most signs.
On 2nd of september not much has changed. I took a swap from the glass wall of the QT and found it was infested with ich:
After that I've taken the fish into 3 separate buckets, to scrub down the complete QT including equipment with Vinegar and bring the copper level back up to the 0.72 range before placing the fish back. In addition I added a dose of 2 ML of Formalin 37% After that I started to see a decline in numbers.
Today, even though there are still clear spots on the Hippo, the amount can now be counted. In addition I've done a new skin scrape today as well. The main difference I noticed with this scrape is that I had to look around a bit, whereas in the previous scrape they were all over the place. As the copper treatment was there for a while now, and the raise didn't seem to have impact I suspect the real reason for improvement to be the formalin dosing and scrub of the tank.

So far the luck is not with me.... I've recently bought a few clown fish to get started again with fish... These have been in a QT but seem to be having issues again. continuing in a new thread
