Is this cause for concern?

Not sure what to make of this. Haven't dealt with any fish disease. Could it be ich? It started off on the white band as the brown spots and now a couple white ones appearing. They don't seem hard though. Ideas?

could be velvet? how long have you had him and how long has this been on him?

I have had him for about a year. This has shown up within the past week or so....noticed some brown spots in the white band just behind his head (can't get those photographed) and now those white spots in the black area. Also, my blue tang is flashing but some have said that is somewhat normal for them?

Anything wet added to tank recently? This looks like brook to me, which requires formalin dips.

Looks like Brooklynella.

With a clownfish I would always first suspect brook, but it can also be bacterial. The difference is sometimes hard to see in the skin appearance, but can sometimes be distinguished from how the fish behaves.

To find out for sure I would start with a formalin dip. If it's brook you should see some improvement in a couple of days. If it doesn't change I would try if antibiotics help.
