Last night I noticed these little white spots on my coral beauty. I’m assuming it’s ich (great) but I could be wrong. No idea where it came from as all fish have been happy and healthy. All my other fish are fine.

hard to tell, could be ich or velvet. regardless of which, the treatment is pretty much the same, just have to move faster with velvet then with ich. Quarantine and copper treatment for 30 days.
