I picked up this Harptail Blenny from my lfs around a week ago. He’s been eating mysis just fine and wa scaring normal for most of the time. Until I got home this afternoon I saw him gasping for air on the top of the water while covered in white patches and holes. He is in my quarantine tank rn, as I was planning on moving him to a bigger tank later on. I just did a freshwater dip for around 4 mins and I didn’t see much change. He was the only fish in the lfs display tank and it was filled with coral and snails. I don’t have any meds on hand or available rn besides online, so can I get and ID and anything I can do to possibly save him? He is the only fish in the tank.

Based on the typo he is still readily eating mysis if it can get to him.
 
And I forgot to mention all of the tank parameters are stable and as followed:
Ph-8.3
Ammonia-0
Nitrate-0-5
Nitrite-0
Temp-77
Salinity-1.024
 
Update on the fish:
After another freshwater dip this morning, and treating with prazipro, he is looking and acting completely fine! He is clear if spots, eating fine, and swimming freely!
