So 2 mornings ago I got a phone call at work. My fox space was covered in white spots. I got home to take pictures and he looked fine later on. That night, my clown fish started acting, really weird and I noticed his coloration, not right. I the next morning notice spots. White spots all over him by time. I got home from work. They were gone now. He's in my quarantine tank acting really weird. No, no, he's on his sido I have broken Allen my tank, please please help.

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

In the video of the clownfish that died, it was breathing very fast. Ich doesn't cause that until very near the end of the infection, but I could not see the typical salt grain-sized white spots. Rapid breathing can also be an indicator of poor water quality, or a gill disease like velvet.
