Looks like it is an advanced case of ich. The fish should be treated in a quarantine tank with copper.
How rapidly is the fish breathing?
Very rapid would indicate velvet. Both ich and velvet are treated with copper.
any mucus or slime? That would suggest possibly brooklynella. Different med.

I can't tell here if it's ich vs velvet. In that case, I would go full strength (2.0+) Copper Power with all fish in a QT tank. Tank can be as simple as a rubbermaid with a heater and air stone.

Seems to be marine ich, Cryptocaryon. Once fish loss has begun during an infection, it is often difficult to stop the disease in time to prevent further loss (sorry!).
Your best bet would be to move all remaining fish into a treatment tank and dose with coppersafe at a full dose of 2.5 ppm.
