I can't see anything in those pictures. The BD obviously looks stressed in picture one. Hard to tell if it bacterial or parasitic. Any other symptoms?

To be honest, I'd give the fish a salt dip (check sticky in this section). And then return the fish to a QT tank on his own. No need in possibly infecting the rest if he is the only fish with the symptoms.

Those perfectly round "splotches" look suspiciously familiar. Do you have any "algae eaters" of any sort in the tank? Plecos, Otos, SAEs, CAEs, anything like that?

Yeah, I can't "click for larger image", the board just tells me I don't have access rights, so I'm stuck on viewing thumbnails, sorry.
