I think I have ich but would really like to confirm. I have attached a video of my powder brown tang.

Any feedback is really appreciated.

For the future, please use bright white light intensity and no blue which makes it easier to see. As the fish made turns, I could then see dots and based on size and location is indeed ich. You will have to place fish and other occupants in with it in a separate tank or container for treatment for a Full 30 days using coppersafe or Copper Power at 2.25pp. Do not ramp up this level but get to 2.25ppm within 24 hours or less.
The display tank theyre in should be kept fishless (fallow) to allow parasites to die off without a host fish for 6-8 weeks. Corals and inverts can remain in display during this 6-8 week period

I agree, the video does look like it has ich, and that species is prone to showing it first, before other fish.
