Are those air bubbles? On the fish?

It looks like some air bubbles and then some velvet if I zoom in.

Are there tiny white specs on him?

Uuugh that's bad news friend. I'm sorry. It happens in this hobby unfortunately.... However I think we are obligated as aquariust that it is our responsibility to do everything we can to reduce mortality rates as much as possible. Reacting fast and having medicines and qt protocols in place for whenever something happens is not a recommendation but a nessesity. Keep your chin up and learn from the incident.

Looks like he had velvet bro. Unfortunately if it was in your display tank, you will likely have others die as well. Not too long ago, I lost all my fish to velvet except a handful. Expensive lesson learned and I QT everything now. You get comfortable with just adding fish/coral to the display and we tend to forget that regardless of the source, fish can carry parasites that will/can eradicate our entire system. Let's hope it wasn't velvet, but from the looks of that last picture you sent of his dead body, does look like velvet to me.

100% certain that it is velvet. I don't know what you can do to save them (even once I pulled all my fish from my DT and tried to QT I still lost a lot of them). This is gonna be one expensive lesson for you. Also check the source of your fish (although you cannot fault them for giving you a fish with velvet - if they are a good seller they will help you out replacing some of your fish that you will loose).

what will be best why to cure velvet?

I tried to go through all your posts, but a little confused with the language. At this stage any fish in your DT should be QTed with medication to treat external and internal parasites. That will be critical otherwise you may end up losing every fish. If you have no coral and no inverts in your DT, and don't plan to add any, then you could treat your entire DT with CP and API general cure.
