?Ich vs. other parasite

So I've had a small regal tang (2") in a 20 gal QT for about 1.5 wks. For the first week I kept him in QT, fed, observed, ... all I could see is he was scratching the sides so after this persisted at 1 wk in, I elected to start Cupramine. After the first dose (but not the second yet per instructions) the disease seems to have declared itself with white-ish spots on the back end and around the mouth, but they don't look like the typical stuck on salt spots, but more like little white dashes or gashes/flecks with a slight cloudy perimeter circling each small lesion... I'm not a pro at fish parasites by far, but was just wondering if I should presume it'll go away once I reach the target copper leve l of 0.5 or worry about treating with something else? The fish is still eating like a pig and very active so that made me somewhat reassured, but still...
 
Honestly wish I could... he's a super speedy swimmer and even if I'm standing in front of the tank he speeds around back and forth and at times under the PVC (flat under on its side) in this tank...
