Looks like brook. Try acraflavine, Ruby Reef Rally or try metro

To me this looks more like velvet or brook than ich.

 

[tonybwill]

OK. My yellow tang has it also. I have them in a qt tank. Haven't use any meds yet.

The disease folks will eventually chime in, but take a read through this thread and see if it looks familiar.

Thanks. The skin looks kinda milky with a few pimples in clown. Yellow tang also.

Agreed. Brooklynella, to be a bit more precise - at least to look at it. Are the fish exhibiting any behavioral symptoms, such as rapid breathing or hovering in the flow of a powerhead?

You'll want to crank up a quarantine tank, and a couple of dips; four or five minutes in aerated freshwater of the same temperature as the tank can give some quick relief, and a longer dip in a medicine with formalin (Quick Cure, etc...) or Acriflavin (Ruby Reef Rally, etc...)

There's a terrific write-up on the beast here: http://www.ultimatereef.com/articles/brooklynella/

It doesn't look like ick to me.

 

[tonybwill]

It does look like brook, after looking at all the pics.

 

[Maritimer]

It doesn't look like ich to me either - it looks like Brooklynella. Brook is a completely different critter.

Oh! Completely forgot to mention that Metronidazole (Metroplex, API General Cure, etc . . . ) can be helpful here as well.

Which is best to use for a bath in a Acrylic dip and pour container (32oz)?

Kordon Rid Ick or Ruby Reef (Rally)

I believe rid ich has formalin, I prefer the reef rally.
