Can you retake the photos under white light instead of blue? The spots I can make put do look like coral stings, but I also see some sort of mucus or something on the tail fin, but I can't see it clearly.

These are the best I can get as soon as I change my lights she runs to the back and hides she’s still very active no heavy breathing still guzzles down food.

Well, due to the time frame, we can rule out velvet or brooklynella, as the fish wouldn’t have lasted this long. For the same reason it is unlikely to be ich. Coral stings or bacterial infections are still possibilities.

Okay thanks for the info! What should i do moving forward to help resolve the issue?
 
Really tough to say - the blue in the photos makes it especially difficult. Even with clear photos under white light, many diseases cannot be identified visually. If it is spreading, getting larger, I guess the course of action would be treating it in a quarantine tank with a broad spectrum, gram negative antibiotic such as Neoplex, Furan-2 or Maracyn 2.
