Is this ich??

Niger trigger, had him for about a week. Eating fine. Housed with a humu trigger and yellow tang. Is this ich or just scraped up??

1 spot by his eye, and a few by the tail. Looks more like a scrape... anything I can do in this display just in case it is?

Does not look like ich, but rather scrapes like you said.

If you do get ich in the display, there is no invertebrate safe ich treatment. You would have to treat the display with hyposalinity or copper, or pull the fish and treat them using tank transfer method while leaving the display fishless for several (10-12) weeks.

Ok thanks.. he wedges himself in a rock that has a hole running through it... hoping its just a scrape!!!

I would not suggest using copper in the DT

Horrors, no---copper in the DT will wipe out the tank.
