yes i did that, b/c i just cleaned the tank but still chases after him.

if you didn't q-tine him, and if he is under severe stress, then the onset of ich is, in my view, all but inevitable. Having said that, wait and see..... it may not be.

What type of clown is it?
How big is the clown?
How big is the wrasse?
How big is the tank?

...... ich or no ich you obvisouly need to resolve the bullying issue or it will manifest itself in some form or another, and the wrasse is going to end up dead!

Is it possible to take teh clown out and put him in the sump for a day or two? Give the wrasse a chance to settle a little bit?

my tomato clown(female) is about 4 inches and my paddlefin wrasse is 5 inches. they are currently in a 90G tank and I have seen some little white spots on the wrasses face, but its like an on and off thing where you see it and then later u look at him and its gone. I put the clown out into a bucket when I was cleaning the tank last week, and put him back in, but nothing changed. so I dont know what to do now....
