You can leave the fish there and hope for the best. Besides, antibiotics for marine fish are really a shot in the dark based on my experience because there are so many strains of bacteria and who knows if we have some kind of "super bug" that is resistant to antibiotics. But again I prefer to at least give the fish a chance. Bacteria infection is very serious for a fish.
Good luck!

+1 put in a qt immediately
Use a neomycin based antibiotic
Check your water conditions and do a water change if you have not done one recently
