You a probably going thru a mini cycle. Groupers usually change colors when stressed or sick. Keep an eye on him for they do get ick. Check your water parameters. Did you keep any of the filter media alive?

I would let the tank stabilize for a few more days, dont feed too much, then do a large water change.
Yes, a V tail can get ick. They are very strong fish and dont get sick easily. Groupers will change colors/lose their color when stressed. Give it a couple of days, then water change (25-30%)
Good Luck!

It gets a slime coat because it's sitting in the water too long rotting probably. I would check your water parameters. They are probably very off....
