I can see the video.
I'm pretty confident that is ich. To confirm, the spots will be in different places in a few days, but like I said, that's almost certainly ich.
Treatment is difficult in a reef with corals. An ideal treatment would be in a hospital tank with copper OR hyposalinity for at least 30 days and at least 2 weeks beyond any visual spots. You have to treat all fishes in the tank and leave the display fishless for 45-60 days, depending on temperature.
