if its got little white spots then there's a good chance its could be ich or maybe just sand particles. If the white spots don't drop off after an hour or so, then it could be ich.
What are the details of your tank? (age, size, stock list, etc)

When did you get it? How did you acclimate it? Can you take a picture of it? What else is in your tank other than it?

Your salinity is pretty low...also when acclimating, you should turn out the lights for a while and cycle them back on slowly. It seems to be a much smoother transition for the fish.
