So I purchased a pari of clowns two weeks ago and today one developed 3 white spots. They are larger than ich and more clear than ich. The fish is normal and eating well, my firefish and other clown have nothing. I just added a scoop of polyp lab reef safe ich medic. A week ago I also bought a couple frags, but I dipped them and rinsed them in freshwater. What do I do???

If you get us a pic, we can help ID. It could just be lymphocystis and you don't really need to do anything. FYI, velvet will be smaller and more numerous than ich.

Trying to get better pics. Looks like lymphocytes. I will still use the reef medic as it’s just hydrogen salt.

It’s two small, but around 3 times the size of ich pale white bumps. (Color is kind of like a scypha sponge) one on the fin one behind the gill
