Please help diagnose

Not sure what I'm dealing with this little guy started looking bad 2 days ago, he hides alot so could be longer. I have noticed the other fish hitting them selves against the rock (flashing?) please help
I have coral, anemone, shrimp, and a Mandarin (full reef tank) I don't want to lose anyone. I bought fritz mardel parashield at a frag show today, seems more like a prevention since it's just oils and not medication. I have ordered the rally combo and was wondering if the medicated food would help too...

Yikes, doesn't look good. Do you have a qt?

No we have a very small house in FL so it's too hot outside in the car port

 

[Hyde2406]

The midas blenny has always had a dark area where he poops but nothing stringy

 

[Hyde2406]

Just thought I'd photo that too incase he's the culprit or part of the problem

Is @Humblefish's around I'd like to feed the medication so I don't have to catch everything and put all my life in a 10 gallon tank (way too small but that's what I have) on my dresser, I don't even have a HOB filter to do a qt.. Any help would be appreciated

 

[BadFish619]

Don't need a HOB a small powerhead would work. I'm in the middle of the same thing my tank has been empty for 5 weeks. I've never used ruby reef before. I tried to treat my dt but it didn't work the copper was just soaked up and I was back to square one. I now have 2 clowns and a fire fish in a 10 gallon. 5 weeks running with water changes virtually every other day. Hopefully someone will be able to help you out, it's a tough situation

Is it velvet, ick, or something else?

 

[BadFish619]

Looks like ich to me but I'm no expert. I had velvet. I initially freaked out and bought a bunch of medicine and things I thought I needed but ended up not using. In the end, a qt with cupramine was the easiest for me. Couldn't keep therapeutic levels in dt. Your coral and inverts can't support ich so they would be fine in dt

It's hard to say 100% what you have going on. It may be multiple things from the look of it.

Best thing to do for treating ich is move all fish to QT and treat with copper.

All of the reef safe meds you included may provide some temporary relief. They will not fully erradicate ich. Keep display fallow for 76 days.
