Is this Ich

[JGStriker]

newer to reef keeping. Admittedly I don’t (yet)quarantine.

Noted

my granma flashing a bit in the evenings for the past couple of weeks and his tail fin looking a bit frayed. Didn’t note much else. Today note what I think is ich. Thoughts?

Is my best management to remove the fish and go fallow? I have MOST of what I would need to do it. Just need meds for the second tank

What other fish are in with the gramma? Somebody has been chomping on its tail.

Some of those spots could be ich, but we need a clearer full body pic to tell more.

The flashing is more a sign of flukes than ich, but fish commonly have both issues.

A pair of snowflake clowns, a fire fish, a diamond goby a molly miller blenny. Had a very short lived anyhia that was purchased and died within a week of placing in the tank (about 2 weeks ago).

I’m confused - your second photo doesn’t show any tail damage. Was it from earlier?

The clowns may be the culprits here, although the blenny could also be a bit nippy, especially if it’s a larger one.

What other fish in tank as this is a sign of aggression

This is the same day. I haven’t been able to get a great shot. Small fraying, nothin major but there definitely is a mild amount of small white spots on the causal fin and maybe also minimally to the dorsal. They are very fine, nearly opaque
Not large granular In Appearance

I was originally hoping it was just from aggression but if it is infectious I wanted to start formulating a potential plan
