Do you see the ich? If he is in quarantine then you should treat him in the tank, preferably with copper or hypo-salinity. There is no reason to dip him.

I dont see anything, but something is driving him nuts. He's eating nori and Spirulina brine.

I would just treat him in the QT like I mentioned above, if he's eating then he should be fine.
