Black/Brown Parasites??

[umluis]

Hi,

I'm ashamed to say that I am not totally new to the hobby, but recently started getting more and more into the complexities of keeping a reef tank.

It's been a little over 6 weeks since I setup my new 90 gallon tank, and have added a few pieces of coral, 1 blennie & 2 perculas. Just this week, I've noticed tiny black parasites on the body of my clowns. Usually, there is no more than one at a time and soon fall off - - usually before I turn off the lights.

My fish have been behaving normally in feeding, breathing, etc., and I've taken the precaution of adding Kordon's Ich Attack to the tank (started on Monday) once a day to kill any free-swimming parasites/larvae that haven't found my fish yet. BUT, I'm still concerned that I don't know what these little creatures are!

Should I be? Have I taken the right steps/precautions?

Thanks,
umluis

Can you post a pic?
Do you have any anemonies or other corals in this tank?

Hi Puffer Queen,

Thanks for the reply to my posting!

Unfortunately, I didn't take pictures of the little bugs on my clowns. But, thankfully, they disappeared with Ich Attack!

I have another problem: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1313381

Maybe you can help?

Thanks,

What is the ingredient in Ich attack?
Do you have any inverts or anemones in this tank?
