I think this is a resurgence of marine ich. In cases that drag on, the "distinct white spots" tend to be replaced with more indistinct mottling. Did the spots show up in less than 24 hours? If so, I think that confirms it is ich again. If the spots developed over time, 2 days or more, there are other possibilities.

I think your right because it all kind of showed up at once I dipped him in safety stop at first that didn’t do anything but a few minutes after i put him back in a lot of the ich just came off like he was shedding skin or something thankfully it was right next to my input so it all went straight to the uv sterilizer
