I don't see HLLE, I see Ich. Definitely a sign of sickness. Color and weight look good.

The pics are a little fuzzy but based on the size of the dots appears to be cryptocaryon which is marine ich.
Treatment will need to be done in a quarantine setting and treated with either coppersafe or copper power s as t therapeutic level 2.24-2.5 for a FULL 30 days monitored by a reliable copper test kit such as Hanna brand. Also monitor ammonia levels with a reliable test kit and increase oxygen with an air stone

Are the spots going away or just fading? Mucus spots will fade, but ich spots tend to go away and then return in different locations.
