R.I.P.

My tank is 700 Lt mixed reef.
I have no space for setting a QT, so I will only buy fishes which have been staying in the fish store for more than 1 month.

On Jun 8, my friend gave me this fish (don't know the name).
When I wake up on the next day, I saw whole fishes got white spot on their body.
and they began to die one by one.

1 wrong fish kill the whole fishes.

**sad**

Moorish Idol is the carrier.

Sorry to hear this. And agree with @Nigelk that it's a Moorish Idol. Have space for a plastic tub or 2 that could be stacked in each other when not in use for qt?

Btw even though a fish may be in a store a month or more: they can still carry a disease and just for the time being have built up an immunity to a degree to it. A fish could go months without showing any signs then get stressed and the disease awakens if not quarintined. Some get lucky, many others don't.

Additionally, the longer a fish is in a store, the greater the chance for it to be exposed to pathogens from other fish deliveries.

So sorry to hear this. Sounds like Marine Velvet Disease: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/

Are the ones you list as "coma" still alive? Because those fish could still be saved if you follow this protocol: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/velvet-amyloodinium-ocellatum.217570/#post-2499437
