I think by looking at the other pics that my 2 clown fish have ich...it came on overnight. It doesnt seem to be bothering them they are still swimming all over the place.
Im very new to saltwater...and these are my first two fish... and i dont have a qt tank...im kinda strapped for cash right now and cant get one..but i dont want to loose my fish...the only other thing i have in my tank is my ls and lr and 5 hermit crabs...any suggestions on what to do? any help is appreciated.

I don't think I would put them in a tank that size. That will stress them more. Others may disagree though. You need to do hyposalinity but you can't do that to your main tank. It will kill your inverts and LR. Can you post a pic?

Couldnt you buy a 10 gallon tank at wall mart for $9. It will make your life alot easier when it comes to quarantining the fish. You should hurry up and quarantine them and do hyposalinity to rid them of ich. Look in the FAQ forum for detailed instructions. Also, add garlic and selcon vitamins to their food.
I think a 2 gallon would not work well. IT would be too small and it would be much better if you could get a 10 gallon, they really arent that much more expensive.

I agree. All you need is a cheapo filter and heater, you don't have to buy lights for it.
