First post on r2r but long time lurker. Recently I have been correcting and replenishing a long neglected reef tank. The tank is almost 20 years old and has softies but no fish. I added a pair of clowns 2 weeks ago. Today I notice one of them is acting lethargic and has this whiteish spot. I’m fairly certain it’s ich, just seeking confirmation! Thanks.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Are you talking about the spot on its lower jaw? There also seems to be a spot on its head stripe. Neither of these are ich. That doesn't mean the fish doesn't also have ich though....can you get a picture of the fish in white light? The blue makes it difficult to see things. Do you have the ability to isolate these fish to another tank if need be?
