So I noticed yesterday my fish was a little light colored well when I woke up thus morning 3 fish were dead and all of them looked very ill.

Here's what it looks like

That's what my thought was, Okays soo time to pull them out and QT then
 
Humble my QT was already set up and has copper in it now will I be okay to slowly acclimate them over an hour or so and put them in QT is lowered than half dose
 
Also noticed the weird black spots all over the lieutenant tang that I haven't seen either

That is fine, but if they are really bad off you might wanna do a FW dip and/or chemical bath before putting them in QT: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/#post-2499437

Could be turbellarians, making the FW dip beforehand even more necessary: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/black-ich-turbellarians.259912/

Double trouble, as this also means you will need to treat with Prazipro in QT: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/prazipro.247598/

You don't happen to have formalin, by any chance?
 
Well so i dont have either of those on my but a LFS opens tomorrow that sells it. Will prazi and cupramine work together?
 
Okay and we'll shoot idk where this even came from I literally have had all these fish in here for over a month, i havent added any new fish and all the sudden this happened

Yes, if no formalin; copper + prazi is what you're gonna have to do.

Any new corals/inverts?
 
For sure, there's been no problems at all and had these guys for over a year! Thank you for the prayers!
 
Got the bad ones in QT last night couldn't catch all the fish but I got the ones that had prominent signs, the rest will be caught today and picking up prazi today after work
 
Okay that's what I thought too what's you're thoughts on the process? Cupramine and prazi then antibiotics?
 
Are the black splotches what you were referring to as "black spots"? If so, I think I would skip the prazi for now (as I don't actually see black ich, unless I'm missing it) and focus on the copper/antibiotics.
