I noticed these spots yesterday, but only in the afternoon they just appeared. They dont look elevated, and I'm just wondering about what to do

Could be but the picture is not really very good to tell for certain. Is this a new fish? Other symptoms?

Good liklyhood that it is ich since it is a new fish. He's not in a quarantine tank? What other fish do you have in the tank with him?

What kind of tank is it? You can treat the tank ONLY if it is strictly fish-only. Meaning no live rock, nor corals, inverts, snails, crabs, etc. Also would like to wait and see how this develops in a day or two. See if you can get better pics in a day or 2. Keep an eye out for the fish rubbing itself, shaking, darting about, gilling rapidly.

I have a ricordea Yuma with live rock snails and hermit crabs. I'm going to put them in a separate container and use paraguard

Para guard won’t cure ich or velvet. Only copper for velvet and copper or hyposalinity for ich.
