My clownfish is about 1.5 inches long. This morning I noticed that he has bad ich after seeing that my fox face had a few spots last night. He also didn’t eat this morning. I have inverts. What should I do????

Pull the fish and treat

10 gallon tank, aqua clear 20, heater, airstone and or small powerhead.

You need to pull all fish and treat in a hospital tank.
I prefer Hotrock's protocol of 2+ppm of copperpower @ 14 days then transfer but that requires two systems setup independently.
Otherwise humblefish protocol of 30 days in copper.
I have yet to lose fish in quarantine this way. Just assure your hospital tanks are well seeded or you risk ammonia exposure easier.

If you got the copper route do some research on here about it as you have to be on your game with copper or it’s in affective or you can dose to much and kill your fish.

I tested after blindly dosing by volume with a hanna and was very surprised that copperpower instructions are spot on.
Just be 100% sure of your water volume and there is nothing in the tank absorbing the meds.

Can you post a picture of the fish. The sudden heavy appearance could be more than marine Ich.
