Sick Watchman Goby

[martinje4]

I got a new watchman goby on Sunday, and everything looked great!
He is a smaller fish in comparison to the rest of my tank, but seemed to settle in nicely. He has been eating fine, and took up residency in the front corner of the tank.
Today when I checked on him, he was covered in raised white spots! I inspected the other fish in the tank, and none of the others have these white spots. What could this be? I have seen ich in freshwater fish, but it doesn't quite look the same in this case.

Here is the specs on my tank:
75 gal tank, with a Marine time LED reef light bar.
Reef Octopus HB-100 protein skimmer
Plenty of live rock (pushing 20lbs+), with crushed shell bedding.
Pulsing Xenia bundle
Sebae anemone
Goniporia
2 Clowns
Yellow Tang
Engineer Goby
Blue Damsel
Yellow Tip Blue Damsel
Red Firefish
Mandarin Dragonette
3 turbos
10-15 blue and red crabs
black tuxedo sea urchin
bristle starfish


Using the kit I have here are the parameters I got:
0ppm Nitrite
0ppm Nitrate
~0.0ppm Phosphate
0-.25ppm Ammonia
7.4 pH

That fish needs a tank with a sandbed - not coarse gravel and shells as you have. You should return it to the store or find someone else who is willing to take it.
