Hi all! I’ve had this guy (the bigger clown) for two months and I just noticed these bumps. The fish isn’t acting weird or anything but it definitely looks like….something. Any advice on what this is and how I’d treat it. I haven’t noticed anything on the other fish in the tank (second photo).

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

Yes, that does appear to be marine ich, Cryptocaryon irritans.

You’ll need to treat all of the fish. Coppersafe or hyposalinity are the two best treatments, but neither can be done with invertebrates in the tank.
