By "white spot" I assume you mean marine ich (cryptocaryon irritans).

The only two scientifically documented ways of eradicating this creature are both NOT reefsafe: copper and hyposalinity.

Until someone shows me a controlled study indicating otherwise, any "reef safe" marine ich treatments are hit and miss at best, dangerous at worst.

Just occured to me by the name of the product that it may be geared towards amyloodinium or "marine velvet" rather than ich. Similar in appearance, velvet looks less like grains of salt on the fish and more like a dull white velvety sheen.

You must first determine which parasite you have before proceeding with treatment. Of the two, ich is the more challenging parasite.

Here's a nice article on velvet:

Links to Steven Pro's excellent 2-parter on marine ich is contained in this article at the bottom of the introduction (just before "Treatment Option 1: Natural Immunity")
