You mentioned you were treating them for Ich. With what medication and how are you measuring it. And I would check you Ammonia level because it sounds like you have multiple Tangs in QT. Consider a Copper overdose if treating with.

These are mucus cones often starts with a skin irritation and can be mixed in with ich.
Best treatment is coppersafe at 2.25ppm which they respond to well for 30 days
Monitor copper level with a Hanna brand copper test kit
