Sorry to see this but yep that's ICH and it's a lot.
Let me tag the [HASHTAG]#reefsquad[/HASHTAG] in here for some solutions.
One of them I know is the TTM (tank transfer method) but with so much ich your fish can get stressed and it become even worse.
How did that happen so quickly?! I checked them last night like at 9pm and nothing and now this?
I mean I posted pics of that clown yesterday in this thread and nothing was there!
Think I might have a very short lived marine tank experience ... can't believe I was so stupid and I feel just horrible about my little fish.
Again sorry that this is over powering you at the moment as nobody wishes any illness on these little fishies but it can happen and it happens to a lot hobbyist.
Reading enough and following the right advice is a plus in this hobby.
As we all know the phrase......... "Nothing good happens fast in this hobby only bad things happen overnight, if you think you go slow, slow down even more"
Transferring them to a 10 gallon with new water might be the end of them. setting the tank up with existing water from your DT might work and tread them in there.
You have the other biocube coming torrow correct? Do a fresh water dip in something, and get the other tank ready once it comes. Get a filter pad in the current system to populate bacteria and get some seachem stability.
You can weather this.
I saw your pictures and you are right I did not see anything either. You are not stupid it happens to even the best of them, we all get excited when we set up our first marine tank and get really attached to our sea creatures, it really upsets us when something happens to them. Take a deep breath and go forward. As you can see there are great people here that will help you and I hope your other creatures are not affected. Keep us posted.How did that happen so quickly?!

You said that you have a 10 gallon right?
Hi there! i responded to your PM, but I wanted to post here as well. First off..... take a breath. Its going to be ok. You can do this but not in a panic. First of all, you can indeed put those fish directly in your 10 gallon tank with new saltwater. The problem is going to be not having a heater, or filter or ammonia badge in there. You can pick these things up pretty cheap at any fish/pet store....even walmart sells the heaters and filters. You'll be doing large water changes almost daily at first, even with a "bacteria in a bottle" type product- which i suggest using as well. Leave all the inverts in the display and treat only the fish. Follow the instructions in the PM i responded to and You'll be ok.
I'm stealing this. (but giving it to friends)"Nothing good happens fast in this hobby only bad things happen overnight, if you think you go slow, slow down even more"
Hi there - I looked at the pic of your clownfish in post #48. At first glance, it looks to be either ich or velvet. But I think we also need to consider Brooklynella as a possibility. So I have a couple of questions for you:
1. How long ago did you buy this clownfish?
2. Is he the only fish in your tank showing these symptoms?
