First off, despite many attemps I cannot capture this issue on camera, so my appoligies.

For the last 3-4 days my female clown has shown signs of potential disease. It seems to be most visable under blue LEDS, during the daylight I can barely detect signs.

She has a slight "dusty" appearing film on her body in certain spots along with a few white spots (20 or so). In addition she appears to have a few pinholes in her head. After doing a ton of searching I cannot conclude, Ich, Velvet or Brook. I am very frustrated and not sure how to proceed, I dont want to remove her to QT until I have a game plan (additional stress)

Recently she has started to be hosted by my RTBA, she eats no problem, and I havent seen any signs of rubbing her gills against rocks as described in many diseases.

I would like to rule out diet, I feed spectrum pellets daily, Rods food 3x a week and mysis 2x a week.

All my other fish seem fine, my carpenter wrasse has the signs of fins "standing up"

Please help, I have a 10gal Qt tank setup ready to go.
 
Can't tell you what it Is, but brook and velvet usually progress pretty quickly and are frequently deadly, so the fact that they're looking as good as you describe says it's probably not that...
 
I can't tell anything from the pics. Brook & velvet are very fast killers, if the fish has either, major symptoms will show up very soon. A "dusty" appearance with spots sounds like possible velvet. f this fish does have one of these parasites; the whole system has it. All of your fish will need to be treated. Were these fish quarantined? When was the last fish added to your system?
