ID white pimples on BODY of clown (doesn't look like ich.)

[Radioheadx14]

To start... The fish is too active to get a good shot so I might not be able to get a pic of it. He still has a big appetite, and is pretty active. I've started feeding frozen foods with selcon and garlic guard (i know it doesn't do much of anything but I have so i might as well use it just in case) The white spots dont look like ich. They started in her body, maybe 3 "pimples" now she has several. They are bigger than ich and look like raised skin with a white head... like a pimple. nothing really going on with the fins. I know ich usually starts on the fins and lympho is usually on the fins two. Any ideas? She occasionally scratches her face in the sand. I also noticed in the morning when i turn on the ambient lights she starts darting around the tank like a hyper dog. I don't know if they are connected but it only happens in the morning.

The fish was in QT for 6 weeks before added to this tank a while ago. Could the spots be from something stinging her? i have several digitate hydriods in the tank that I'm slowly getting rid of and some corals. I know most stings on clowns turn black.

Any Ideas so I can look into it more?

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Could be a bacterial infection, see if a round of antibiotics clears it up.

I know a picture would be nice, but my camera does not do well with action pics

Depending on your level of experience clowns are easy to capture using nothing other than a clear glass in one hand and using the other hand as as "bait". Once in the glass you can take a pic.

I still don't think it would work even if she was in a glass of water... I've had her for over 6 months and she would still swim up and down in the glass. My camera is not good at close ups and motion. Its a good camera... just not for close ups/action
