scales flaking

[tybud]

I have a velvet damsel and a tomato clown that are eating really well but they are loosing there scales around there face and some upper body. I recently had a case of ick that I treated but I am wondering if I should transfer them to a hospital tank and treat them. I know I have heard of something like this but the books I have don't mention anything. Any ideas?

I used a malichite green soln before I found out that it wasn't the best way to go. That got rid of the ick but I am told that it didn't cure it. I then used some carbon to get it out and a WC. As for the scales, I see loss of pigment rather than loose scales.
