Hi guy I need urgent help. I have a saltwater tank. My eel live in it. He has lives in here for a few years now. Every now and then I catch fish and put it in the tank. The eel doesn't bother them. Over an amount of time they start getting white spots on them. I've trade using that blue ick medication but I don't think it works!!! What do I do!?! please help I don't want these little guys to die on me!!!!! They have already gotten the white spots!!!

On the first pick you can see really small spots on my domino damsel. The two big white spots are just how the breed looks. ADVICE!?!?!

It does look like ick to me. You might try moving them to a smaller tank to treat at a higher concentration and then also retreating the large tank..

Do a fresh water dip on them. Here is a link explaining it. http://www.fishchannel.com/fish-health/disease-prevention/saltwater-fish-freshwater-dips.aspx

Should I dip my eel as well?

I don't think I would dip the eel. Fish usually show signs of ick when stressed. The fish are new, so stressed. The eel is not. I would keep an eye in him and first sign of ick, should he get it then I would dip him.
