I thought it was ich, now I'm not so sure

I lost a male clown this past Saturday. Just looked in tank, and there he was, covered in a white velvety blecchhh, gilling like mad and "swimming" vertically. No other fish affected. Removed during feeding to place in QT, but he died while in acclimation. Yesterday, I saw three white spots on female, but couldn't get at her without a tear down. Not coming out to eat - just eating in the rocks. Today, she is beginning to get covered with the same white whatever, and white "spots" are gone. Because she is way into the tank, these are the best pictures I can get of her.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Dave

Sorry, the images didn't come through. I guess I have to practice that more... But, the links are good, and the 1508 image is probably the best I have thus far.

I got her into the QT!!!!
only had to move one rock, faked her out at meal time. Of course, now all the fish run when I walk into the room... Can get some copper into water tomorrow...

Sorry to keep answering my own posts, but I have been doing some reading, and now, seeing that only my ocellaris clowns are affected, I wonder if it is Brookynella. So, what would that treatment be. The fish is way too stressed to fresh water bathe her. Copper and malachite in the hospital tank?

Thanks

Dave
