Sorry all, yet another disease ID request....

I'm not sure what this is.... I have not seen any disease in my tank so far, but here it is. I have a 500 gallon with good water parameters (just double checked). The 2 effected fish have been darting around the tank and I'm working on capturing them. Any ID for treatment would be appreciated. It looks like I have other fish that may be coming down with the same. Thanks!!!

Your fish looks like what my clown has..it looks like ich. Right now I am treating them with ich attack. People say ich attack works ..I will tell you if it does. It says on the bottle that it is safe to use on a display tank but I'm using this stuff in my 29 quarantine tank. People have said that that they have used it on their display tank with no ill affects on their corals and inverts but I am still skeptical. Have you added any new live stock lately?
 
I would lean towards velvet rather than ich. Either way Only proven treatment methods is hypo and copper for ich, copper for velvet. If you do a FW dip and the spots don't fall off then it is ich. Either way remove and treat in seperate tank as either method will kill coral and fish. Leave tank fishless for 4-6 weeks.
