fungus or columnaris? (sp?)

Hard to tell what it is. I'd remove him and watch him and see how it progresses. Maybe try a bit of salt in the mean time. Did you quarantine the new fish before adding them to the tank?
 
Columnaris is bacterial and usually treated with antibiotics. Don't raise the temp right now - if it's bacterial it could just get worse.

You really need to get another tank to set up for quarantine. Adding new fish without quarantining them is begging for trouble.

I'm also wondering if this could be a reaction to the worm meds you were using.
 
So, let me ask a super newbie question. (can I get a shirt that says "Super Newbie")? lol
How do you measure mls when treating a tank? Are there eye droppers that have mls printed on them? Or little cups? I have no way of measuring out things like you did the hydrogen peroxide, and this is something I feel I have to learn about.
Thanks!

Yes you can get droppers with ML on them.
