White spots..

[20h9]

My female clown has spots. At first I was thinking ich but years ago I remember it starting out smaller and it being on fins which there are none and they are pretty big.

I started thinking brook but the spots seem smaller and more prominent.

What do yall think?

This is clearly ich and fish will have to be treated in a separate treatment tank. Treat with either Api General Cure OR coppersafe at therapeutic level 2.0-2.25 For a FULL 30 days (do not interrupt this 30 day period) monitored by a reliable Copper Test kit such as Hanna Brand- No API brand. Also monitor Ammonia levels while in quarantine with a reliable test kit and add aeration during treatment using an air stone.. Add no fish to tank for at least 45-60 days

Will do thanks for checking me. Not having corals, and only 3 inverts, could I remove the inverts, and reduce fallow time with hypo salinity? I'm currently reading through forms looking for affect on bennificial bacteria.

Never mind, I'll take it slower. Thanks again.

Clowns may not tolerate hypo well. Yes, conventional your best bet

I should have been more clear, QT clowns for meds, remove inverts from DT, and reduce DT to hypo for a shorter term.

I do still plan on not doing this though.

I can't believe how fast they showed up, no signs yesterday. Maybe it's just due to the color.

Seeing ich on white clowns is very difficult.

The spots look large to me, but then, it looks like it is a smallish clown, also there seem to be two smaller spots behind the two large ones, so I would have to say this is likely ich.
