Hey everyone, I've got a Clown that appears to be developing ich (I think it's in it's 2nd cycle now). A couple weeks ago I observed a white spot and a the edge of its gill opening looked a little funny. That went away and now it's got a couple spots and a more inflamed gill on the other side of its body. I've done my best to get a photo (see below) which shows the spots and the funny looking edge of the gill (doesn't look odd unless you compare it to the other side). This is the only fish of 3 that are exhibiting any symptoms; Royal Gramma and Azure Damsel.

I need some advice with a couple things; firstly am I dealing with ich? Second, I just added a couple Zoe frags to my QT tank about a week ago, so I have to figure out what to do with this livestock as I had planned to use the QT tank to treat the clown.... Do I throw the corals in the DT and hope for the best, or leave the Clown in the DT until the corals clear QT?

How worried should I be about getting this clown out right this moment?

I will continue to look through the archived messages, but there's nothing like getting right to the point with your own question. Thanks in advance.
