Got a Naso Tang on this site about 2 weeks ago. Since then it has had white spots on it rear fin and on one side of its front fin. They do not or have not fallen off and then rear appear. Also my yellow tang does not seem to have any spots either. Is this Ich? It looks like it but doesn't ich come and go? Doesn't it fall off then reappear somewhere else? If it was Ich wouldn't my yellow have it too? Don't have pics.

One fish can show signs without the other showing signs but I am definitely from the school of thought that if one fish has ich, they all have ich.
I know there is ich in my tank right now, my sailfin shows it, but my Naso is fine
I think a lot depends on the health of the fish. If the tank is not infested, a healthy fish can fight most of it off.

This is the spot on the rear of its tail in the middle. I couldn't get other side.

That seems a little large for ich. I would PM Beth with that image. You can see it on both sides?
