just picked up a nice 5 inch RS sailfin for $30 from a fellow reefer that has LL. I know from experience with good water quality it should recover. Anything else im missing?
 
Missing quite a bit. This isn't a condition we know a lot about.

In order of what I think is most likely the causes:
Vitamin deficiency (A and/or C); Poor Nutrition
Chronic Stress
Poor water quality (including high levels of dissolved organic matter and/or nitrate)
Activated carbon (either removing something the fish need or the dust clogging the pores on the fish)
Stray Voltage (is your system grounded properly?)
Retrovirus
Hexamita
Amyloodinium-like dinoflagallate
