Ich Scare

Greetings,
It's been some time since i've posted on these forms, and it's sad I come back for what I fear could be an Ich scare.
My tank is coming up on three years old and I've never had any problems like this (minus a nitrate spike about 6 months ago that i've pretty much recovered from)
Anyhow, i got hom today and saw what looked like a grain of salt on my male Clown and I immediately feared that it was ICH.
I looked online and all I saw in the photos is what looked to be a full blown case of them so I wasn't really sure.
Please take a look at this video and tell me what you think, he's the smaller of the two clowns (as i'm sure you know) and it's to the left of his belly line. You see a couple good shots of it in the last ten seconds of the video. Thanks for your input.

Hi there, thanks for your reply..
last fishes to be added was about two months after tank set up They were the two clowns added at the same time. so about Jan of 2010
 
Also, I just remembered that about three weeks ago I took the pumps out and cleaned them and all the tubing well (28 gal nano) I used tap water to clean everything
Thats the only other thing I can think of that I have done differently over the last couple years.
 
So on some closer inspection it only appears to be the one little inconsistency. vieweing at it (face to face with the fish) it looks to be transparent. Viewing it from the side of the fish it appears to be white (possibly just my lights reflecting on it)
Anyway, I have very little experience with this and i'm wondering if I need to go and buy/set up a QT tank today.
 
I would watch him closely and if it persists and gets worse, get him outof the tank and treat him with Cupramine in a QT..... Look at my thread.
