I hope you cancell the order for two reasons.

You have a serious problem in your tank. It could have started with ich but it looks for serious now possibly bacterial. You cannot use copper on open wounds.
You should consider an immediate fresh water bath, qt for the tang and treat with neomycin a heavy garlic extract feeding. If the fish will not eat you will have to risk the copper or formalin parasite treatement.

The second reason to cancel the order is that it is almost guaranteed that the large naso you order will not eat. Large nasos are notorious for simply refusing to eat and eventually starving to death.
