my clown is sick !?!?

[jerehmy]

hey there-

I have a black perc clown that has white fuzzy spots in his face and near the anal fin. Heres some pics,

All the other fish are fine and the other clown is fine, I have been treating them with a reef safe ick medicine called KICK-ICH made by Ruby Reef Inc. It has an active ingredient of *5-nitroimidazoles * The spots have not gotten worse or better and treatment has beed about 7 days. Im starting to wounder if this is not ich and something different?

Please help me if you can

I looked there already, but the spots are only by the mouth and gills and the fish eats and otherwise acts totally normal. What else is out there. I was told thet it could be velvet?

Also tried a FW dip for 15min and when he went back to freedom he swam all crazy for a min then went back to normal, is that normal?

Heres a longshot, would an anemone help to sting the parasite from the clown? Mabye the "spots" would become dislodged from the playing in the anemone?
