Sounds like ick. You need to move him to a QT tank so that the rest of his tank mates don't get it (a good chance they already do have it or will get it soon).
Once moved into a QT tank there are a few ways of treating the ick (again assuming it is that). Hypo salinity - which is where you change the salinity of the water over a two - three week time killing the parasite. I believe they also have medications out there you can use. You don't want to use these treatments inside your main tank because more than likely it will kill off all of your inverts.
You can read up more in the disease forum.

Good luck.
