I've just successfully treated a white spotted boxfish in quarantine with Cupracit(sp?). In fact he needed 2 full courses to clear it up completely, and there were no issues.

White spot as in ICK? please clarify
Add garlic oil with the food to boost immune of the fish Kent have them (Garlic Extreme) i think
try hyposalinity to speed up the ick's cycle
or copper solution if the fish is already in QT if not don't it will kill all your invert
you can get more imfo here www.wetwebmedia.com

Good Luck

Unfortunately cow fish are notorious ich magnets and the only way if the fish is getting sicker is to treat in a Qt tank using copper and hyposalinity for twenty eight days. You have to monitor the copper levels carefully as you don't want to over or underdose. Don't crank the temp of your tank up as this will cause the ich to encyst and go dormant
