So this is bizarre ..

Unfortunately I would anticipate loss of fish by Sunday with no treatment, is anybody watching your tank?

Bruce posted the link you need to understand what causes this. Somehow velvet got in the tank, it could have been on anything wet, ie snails, corals, rock, etc. Added anything like that in the past month?
Oh dangit ...now I know. Rock. I added a new rock piece. grrrrr.... thats where it cames from. I cured it properly and everything. .... man I just cant win. Took an old rock out to get rid of nasty polys, and simply kill my fish and replace it with another type of fungus.

And no.. unfortunately no one watching my tank. Dang
 
Yes you will want to remove all fish. Allow the DT to be fallow for 6 weeks for velvet. 76 days for ich. I would go the full 76 days to be safe.

Since you have Anthias copper will be your best bet for treatment. I would recommend copper power.

Bruce has you covered on treatment plan above. I would follow all three steps! Time is of the essence here.
Thank you and thank you @Maritimer ... Ia m hoping for th ebest while I am away but bracing for the worst. I will be following this .. have you guys tried or heard of that reef rally mentioned above?
 
We recommend it to be used when battling velvet as a 90 minute bath, it is an antiseptic that helps prevent secondary infection which is common with velvet due to the abundance of entrance wounds.

@Big G is recommending it to try to buy you some additional time.
 
This stuff is safe on corals both hard and soft?
The manufacturer claims it is reef safe. I personally haven't used it in that manner. Works great for 90 minute baths. But it could buy you some time.
