Bumps on Clownfish. Ich?

[Zakary2003]

I have two captive bred ORA premium picasso clownfish. I've noticed bumps forming on them, and it is the worst on the back and fins. I also have a wild caught 6 lined wrasse and a captive bred yasha goby, and neither have the same symptoms. I can't get any great pictures, but here are the ones I have. What could it be and how can I treat it? I don't exactly have a quarantine setup or room for a second tank, as I live in a college dorm, but I can try to make something work to save them. I am also leaving for just over two weeks starting next Thursday, which isn't ideal....

Here's a (slightly) better photo of the back

Here's a video in case that's better.

There is a lot of mucus on the skin - suggesting brook - however, the individual spots suggest ich IMHO - can you give more information - as to whether you followed appropriate QT procedures

 

[Zakary2003]

No, I did not follow appropriate quarantine procedures. I live in a dorm room and do not have any space for a QT setup. I have had the clownfish for about 5 months without any signs of illness. The wrasse was added about 2 months ago. The yasha goby was added a week ago. My only quarantine procedure for the wrasse and goby was asking the local fish store to hold the fish for a week to see if they developed any signs of illness, which they didn't.

I should also add that the male just started hosting the anemone a day ago, and the female has been viciously fighting him over it, in case it might be injury. The female has been hosting for a few weeks.

Im seeing bacterial lesions which may or may not be associated as a secondary symptom with brooklynella disease. This is treatable in tank with ruby rally pro or Seachem in separate tank with added aeration during treatment

My first thought was this could be an injury and then I saw this post - I think that is the issue.

Does that mean I can add the Ruby Rally Pro directly into the display tank without hurting corals and shrimps? That would certainly be ideal.

Will it heal on its own then? Should I still treat with Ruby Rally Pro like another user recommended?

Yes

Ruby Rally Pro won't hurt. Here is the thing, if it is JUST a minor injury and if the fighting stops, it will heal on its own with no treatment. However, it might be brook, so maybe play it safe.
