I’ve attached a photo of my clown fish.

I am new to reefing, I was wondering what the white spot is on my clown. Is it ich?
Is there any treatments that won’t harm corals or crabs?

Clown is distant in pic and need a closer/close-up picture but one dot can be an injury, and even a sand grain that sticks to them due to their heavier mucus coat
 
Was the fish medicinally QT prior to adding to the tank? Need few more close up pics.
The fish wasn’t QT before adding, I’m new to reefing so I asked my local shop on the steps of adding a new fish and then just advised dip acclimation.

I’ll get a couple of close ups

I’ve attached some photos. I’ve had the lights off for an hour or so so it was abit frantic when I turned them back on

The spot seems a bit too large to be ich. Does the clown have any other symptoms? Is it swiming well and eating good?

It’s swimming fine, got a very big appetite!

I would just observe it for now. Ich spots will come and go and change location every few days, and generally increase in numbers....
