Is this ich?

One of my PJs has two little white dots on its tail. Haven’t noticed it before but also changed my spectrum to more blues and they jump out. Thanks!

Possibly or lymphocystis or just something that goes away. How long in the tank? Did you add anything recently that was not QT

Need a clearer pic under white lighting to properly assess
It’s rare cardinals get ich

Thanks for the help!

These dont QT well which is not considered a missed step. Appears as Fin Ray damage more than anything and as you may have found out, They favor frozen foods and LRS fish frenzy, Mysis shrimp and plankton will offer Omegas and amino to help with such issues.
Maintain pristine water quality and this will clear up. Use quality test kits

It could be lymphocystis - (or another viral infection) - it does not look like Ich. I would - as @vetteguy53081 said - feed well and watch - what you do not want to see is multiple spots coming and going. Nice fish BTW
