It is likely just a single parasite, not ich. My clownfish also has this and has lived perfectly fine with it. It does seem to get worse when the fish is stressed.
Keep an eye on this, however, to see if it develops into something else, or gets to be a problem. At that point, you can go to a formalin bath. See if you can confirm that the LFS has formalin in the meantime.

from what i've read on this board ich only effects fish. not inverts or corals. but i'm certanly not in the same league as beth or any of the others on this board.
