Really hard to tell from the pic but might be velvet.  Most common treatment for marine fish is the use of copper as long as it is a fish only system.  Here is a link I found for marine velvet.

Yea Thanks for the reply I don't think it's that when I read the Illness They didn't have any gold patches or a Velvet.
On the Devil it started above the tail as one round spot dark then later progressed to maybe scales missing on both sides.
But the other fish just died,except for the Skunk Clown and it looks like he was chewed on in the center of his body he did die hated that to!

Sorry about all the losses.  Most all fish treatmentsare still being done with either hyposalinity or copper.

You don't think that Furan-2 will help

I dont have much experience with treating sick fish.  Sad to say but usually by the time you notice it they are too far gone.  I would separate that fish from all the others if possible though.  The loss of that one fish is alot easier to swallow then a total loss of all the fish.
