Too much movement in the video but still pics suggest Crytocaryon which is marine ich or mucus cones from ich or skin irritation hence the need for quarantine.
Wasnt this a new acquisition?
Quarantine needed with treatment using coppersafe. These fish are susceptible to velvet and Lymphocystis and quarantine for regal angel is a must.

I had a malfunction with the biocube I had her in. Do I need to move her to QT from the DT?

None of my other fish have anything on them

Fish will need to be in Quarantine. Is this a QT tank its in?

No DT, my QT tank is a biocube and it had a malfunction

Yup if treating with copper, if you can’t and gotta leave em in the DT then the whole Humblefish H2O2 regime is the only other real option

I just moved her to the QT, doing a water change on the QT now. If I treat the DT with copper (removing inverts and coral) is there a way to get rid of it when the fish are better and be able to put coral and stuff in again?

So the hydrogen peroxide mentioned, where do you get that? Is it just common stuff used for disinfecting injuries?

The fish is moving around a lot. I saw one spot on the left side of its soft dorsal fin - the blue part. Can you see other salt grain sized spots?
If it is ich, the other fish won’t show spots of their own for a few days to even a week or more.
You want to confirm the diagnosis before doing anything drastic.

I saw a few of them. I moved her to QT to treat with cupramine. Was this an okay move? I just panicked cause I dont want her to die like my puffer did

Im not a fan of ionic copper (cupramine) with a regal. Treatment level for cupramine is .5 and is a little harsher than coppersafe

Cupramine is not my top choice with angels. Be sure NOT to use ammonia removers in conjunction with Cupramine. You need to dose it accurately at 0.50 ppm.
There may be a continued problem with ich developing on the fish in the DT where this angel was.

Okay Im doing a 10 gallon water change in the QT right now. Already dosed the cupramine. Will that help get it to a safe level? Ive got a copper test kit too

Peroxide rarely works and rarely used and what copper kit are you using?
I would NOT dose the display tank with intent to return the inverts to same tank after treatment. The display needs to be fishless for at least 45-60 days. Any coral and inverts can remain in display safely

I dont have a way to QT the fish from my big display, my only QT tanks are 32 and 10 gallons

And seachem copper test kit

Seachem is an okay kit. use the 32 bio cube based on space for the QT assuming there is no rock or sand in there which will absorb some of the copper. Also assure any carbon is removed during treatment and increase oxygen.

I can quarantine it in my tank if you need ?

Would look great being added with the emperor
