Clown - Ich or Sand?

[lefty]

I have a pair of Ocellaris clowns in a 29g. Today, I noticed that the tailfin of the larger clown has a small, white-speckled line right where the black turns into the clear outercoat. Is ich or sand normally located there? She and the other clown have no other white specks on them. I also noticed today that the female is brushing/fanning the same spot in the sand with her fin. She's also shaking, which I read can be common around mating time. I don't know whether the speckled line is sand, ich, or something else. I hadn't seen the line before today. She is eating and acting normally. Of course, I'll continue to watch for white spots to show up. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

Any chance of getting a picture? That would help a lot.
How are your water readings. Sometimes poor water quality will show up with whitish growths on the fins.

I'll try and get a picture, but she moves around so much it'll be a bit difficult. I tested my water just this morning and everything is where it should be.

Okay, I took about 20 pictures and found a few that turned out. I'm just going to give the links because I don't want to size them down and ruin the picture quality. I can actually see her fin much clearer through the pictures. The second one down looks really incriminating. =/
Also, the white line/specks seem to have a very slight tinge of blue to them.

Nice pictures. I think your fish is normal. It appears to be only a minor color variant. I would watch the fish as I would not expect the white line to grow much.

I wasn't sure if it was supposed to be there or not because only one fish had it and it wasn't there when I first got her. I feel much better now though. Thank you! :joy:
