Initially I thought it was velvet, but it seemed too sparse to be velvet. It cleared up on the grammas/the male clown but on the female it started looking cloudy like brook, then after FW dips the cloudiness went away, leaving these white bumps. On the grammas/male it looked more like ich, just big infrequent white bumps. The same thing has since struck the wrasse. Looks the worst on the female clown though. I would've thought brook or velvet would kill faster but she's had this for 3 weeks now. Appetite on all the fish is still normal and has been. Female clown just kinda swims in the direction of flow and occasionally twitches. No actual flashing on the rocks. Breathing is fine, mouth and gills not held agape. Grammas were flashing when they had symptoms. Banggai and blenny never got infected to begin with.

At first glance it appears to be a simple case of marine ich. However, in the second picture, there are black spots interspersed with the white spots. Were the black spots there before, or did they show up along with the white spots?
 
On page with Jay, I see two things going on - Ich and hyper-melanization.- (stings).
Do you have anemones or euphyllia coal?

I don't remember if the stings started showing up before or after I got my rock flower but definitely long before I got my eu/fimbriaphyllia. Good to know it's just ich though
