Parasite Eggs on my Koran Angel?

My koran angel has been in my QT for about 2 months with a full dose of cupramine, I knew it has something torn on the bottom fin. Today I decided to take him out to see and take pics. I now see some egg patches so I just did a methylene blue bath. Hopefully it will help. Anyone know what they are? It does not seem to harm or bother him. Few weeks ago, I had also moved hum to another tank with Kanaplex to fix a fin that was not moving (or rotting). That rot fin was fixed but this egg patches didn't seem to go away (so kanaplex did not work for that).

A sailfin has been with him the whole time (2 months). Today, I just added another batch of fishes - powder blue, brown tang, saddle puffer, foureye bufflerfly, and singapore angelfish. I should have waited. Now I really have to fix this Koran before this thing spreads over.

(I posted this on clay-boa. Hope someone here can help too.)

That's for sure some sort of eggs. I would formalin dip the angelfish and the get the angelfish into Praziquantel/prazipro for 6 days then treat again. On "clay boa" haha I would listen to Humblefish and humblefish only. If he tells you something differently than I did, then ignore my advise... also looks like fin rot
 
I guess I would assume these are some eggs of some sort that somehow attached to his body and are now all dead since they have been there for at least 3 to 4 weeks. In that case, I will scratch them off and see what damage it has to the fish and if the fish will heal up. I would not assume it is not a normal life cycle of any sort of parasites.

Any comments from any experts are welcome.
 
Xmas time. The experts are resting I guess. Looking forward to seeing their comments when they come back.

I would guess Crustaceamorpha. It is rare but possible. The larva is usually taken out by filtration but sometimes they find a host and form into eggs.

I'm curious to see what Humble says as well.
 
Has humblefish "Moved on"? Or he is still active on reefcentral? I don't see any activities from him lately? The last post from him was 05/11/2017? Or he is on ********* now?
