It sounds like your fish have either ich: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/ich-cryptocaryon-irritans.191226/
Or velvet: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/
I would treat all your fish with copper in a Quarantine Tank for 30 days, and give them all a FW dip prior to entering quarantine.
The DT itself should be kept fallow (fishless) for 76 days in order to starve the parasites out of there. The blue links above provide more detailed info.

Agree with Humble ^^^ best of luck!
+1 more to the above, especially to the fw dip if you have not done so yet. That will help give it a little relief until you can gather supplies

Probably more likely to be velvet, and again, I agree with the other three heavy hitters!
