signs of ich

[sharkbait9]

Hey every one new tothe forum, so help a brotha out and work with me if i am not as savvy as you. Any way my trigger keeps scraping the rocks, he/she had ick i think (little white cotton bumps) so i assumed it was ick. I did the old school trick of upping the salt, temp pulled him out did a scrap and dropped him in a fresh water dip for 4 min timed. the ick was gone harray for me. but two months later hes now rubbing rocks. my cleaner shrimp want nothing to do with him and the cleaning wrassle keep cleaning but he keeps rubbing is this a sign or do triggers rub.
Thanks
