The disappearing ick...or is it even ick?

[krazykarel]

Guys i have a royal gramma and a cherub angel which look like they have sugar on their body (this happens in the AM), but by the afternoon all the spots seem like they are gone.
Is this ick? What is going on here?

Can you guys upload a picture of both ick and velvet so i can see the difference.
If it is velvet would the fish still be eating?
Also, could it possibly be sand that gets compressed to their scales overnight in their sleeping hole and it takes a while to get it off?

From reading the post again it may be ick. The velvet I have seen looks more like a dust coating then sugar.Krazeykarl how many spots are we talking? At any rate if it was velvet and untreated the fish would be dead by now or close to it.

Krazeykarl if you are still there how are things going?
