clown fish ICH?

So just noticed that my baby clown I've had for a few months has little white spots on him and my new addition a red fairy wrasse I have noticed as similar white spots. I have both a larger clown and multi angelfish that are new additions with nothing on them. I also have a lawnmower blenny thats been in the tank since day one. Here is a small video and pics of the fish in question. Any tips on how I can help/treat them?



This is what I've read so far as a solution:
Typically a standard 37% formalin solution (shop & compare prices) is mixed with either fresh or saltwater in a separate treatment container, intitially all fish are given a quick dip or a prolonged bath, followed by continued treatment and care in a QT. Of course the longer fish are exposed to the formalin treatment, the more effective it will be at eliminating this "disease". Whether to administer a dip or a bath to start with is something you will have to determine yourself, but there's a very simple way to do this.
Any truth to the above solution?

I personally don't see anything, but clownfish Ich is not unheard of.
Sorry he's kind of hard to get a good shot of since he's so quick. Lately he's been enjoying swimming against one of the water jets and seems to be making a sport of it. Before he would rub himself on the sediment but he's stopped. They both are eating like crazy with the flakes and mysis shrimp mix I put in. Not sure if that helps?

I'm not sure what to tell you. I am not an expert on on fish diseases. If it were me, I would monitor it for a few more days before I would do anything.
How long has he had these spots for?

I do not see anything either.
Some clownfish just enjoy kicking up the sand. I'd observe and keep an eye out.
IF they have ich, you need to treat ALL the fish in a seperate tank from this one. Hyposalinity is the safest route.
