EMERGENCY! Is this velvet? Help with plan.

The Biota YT is in the tank on the left next to the two copper hospital tanks. Do I need to move this to another room or am I ok? Thanks. I don’t see anything on the CB or lawnmower in the 40G but I just don‘t know. It would be easier to have all in the 40G and I’m sure the other would like to get out of a 10G but i don‘t want to screw anything up. Thanks

Quarantine tanks is such close proximity can create bio security issues. Here is an article I posted about that:

How does the breathing look we‘re 68 hours into copper? 50% mortality rate so far.

Looks like a happy diamond to me. Do give this poor guy a salad bowl or similar size of bowl of sand to dwell in.

That looks like a bacterial slime. Rare to see it in a QT, but you can just siphon it out.

Edit: I see @vetteguy53081 hypothesized this could be wrasse slime, I agree.

I want to say thank you to the reef2reef community with a special thanks to vetteguy53081 and Jay Hemdal. Vetteguy53081 and Jay you two have been and a tremendous asset in helping me navigate the correct diagnosis and treatment of my sick fish and tank. As bad as it is and was having a 50% mortality rate I still feel lucky and know it would have been worse without your help and expertise. Thanks again for all you do.
