Hi everyone i just noticed today that my clownfish has two white spots behind the white circle around its head , on the right side below its dorsal fin, i thought that its two scales look different but im really worried that it might be ick, can someone more experienced confirm or suggest what to do? I've had this tank for only 4-5months now, other two fish look ok

Image extremely dark
May be as simple as sand grains
If ich. Will multiply and relocate the next 24 hours
Keep an eye on it for now as it may vanish

Do nothing.
Relax, it’s 2 dots, not 50.
Gonna disagree (slightly) with this - a lot of infections start with 1 white spot. However, this is definitely not anything to panic about. I would say with all due respect to @Uncle99 I would observe for more spots - and other issues in your other fish (i.e. the rest of the tank) as compared to doing nothing.
