That does not look like ick. Ick will cause very small spots. It almost looks fungal or bacterial but it could also be a fluke possibly? I'll wait until some of the more experienced members to see what they say. Good luck.

That looks too large to be ich. Fish often get bumped fin rays that show up as a white spot. One way to rell is to watch the spot - if it is in the same location after 24 to 36 hours, it isn't ich. If the spot goes away and new spots show up in different areas, it is more likely to be ich.
