    Clown and fox-face rabbitfish both have white spots... fox-face is shy when I put up dig cam to take a pic... so here are a couple of pics of the clown...

    What do you guys think?

    from what i can see on it they look kind of bigger to be ich. All my cases with ich are just very small white dots on the body and fins (usually fins first). May be a type of fungas. but im no expert on things so let someone else confirm that.

    I agree, check water parameters, could be from stress. Stress can cause a lot of issues caused from rapid acclimation to poor water quality.

    Other parasites out there besides ICK...

    Healthy, stress free fish will throw them off withing day or so.

    Keep eye on.

    Don't do anything more drastic then maybe a couple of back to back water changes if params are not quite up to par.

    Good luck.

    :)

    Well as of today... all fishes are spot free... I think due to low pH and the buffer might have caused it...
