Is this Ick? New to puffers, want to confirm before treating

Hello. I'm new to keeping puffers. I recently acquired one at the local walmart and it appears the little guy might have ick.
My tank is a 29 gal currently a year old fully cycled; Ammonia levels are zeroed out, Nitrites at 0.1 and my Nitrates are 10ppm. This tank cycled pretty quick due to using using existing media and external eheim from an old tank.
In the tank I have the one GSP and five corydoras.
I feed once daily, 50% of what I put in the tank are flakes for the corys, 25% dried brine shrimp and 25% dried bloodworms. I know that in the very near future I will need to feed snails bi-weekly. Looking at the pictures can anyone tell me if this looks like icy/ick to them? I moved him into a large vase to get the pictures since it was pretty much impossible in the tank. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
