Disease ID please

Something that looks like ich/velviet showed up on my clowns yesterday. I’m leaning towards ich because I’ve had them in the dt for a month with no problems and there were quarantined before that. No other fish have been affected yet. Any help would be appreciated. Pictures attached

Post a better picture under white lights only. Most likely ich

Also provide a 30 second video under white light. A full set of parameters helps as well.

It looks like ich but i'm not sure from the pictures. If it is, I would take out the clowns into a copper medicated quarantine.

That appears to be ich. What is your quarantine procedure? Have you added anything new lately?

They were in copper for 2 weeks. Then into the dt a little over a month ago. They were the last fish I added. I have put a couple acro frags in lately but I dip those in bayer for 15 min.

Well shoot, that should have killed ich depending on what copper level you ran. You can always get a UV and practice ich management. Otherwise, it’s gonna be pulling them and quarantining again.

Yea I’m a little confused as to where it came from.. i also run a UV sterilizer on the system they are in. I’m gonna pop them in QT again with copper.
