Hi all, any idea what these white spots could be? Clownfish seems healthy and eating otherwise.

Hi, I can't rule out Cryptocaryon, marine ich. The one spot on the caudal fin kind of pushes me to that diagnosis (fish do get white spots here and there, but a spot on the fin is often ich). Still, it could just be scale damage. The trick is for you to watch the spots over a couple of days. If they come and go, change location, it is likely ich. If the same spots are in the same location for days, then it isn't ich. Here is a link to background information that can help us make a better determination:
