ICH? I hope not!

Good evening to all! I noticed these small (pin head sized) white “bubbles” on my Flame Angel as well as these larger (ball point pin head) sized bumps? Blisters? I’m not sure how to describe them, on one of my Anthias. This is the first time I’ve seen this and I’m not sure what’s going on to be honest…

Water is good, temp is good, and everyone is happy, active, and hungry. I would certainly appreciate any help!

Could you possibly get clearer photos? How long have they been in the tank? But I would say if you think anything is off to quarantine and treat with copper. I couldn’t do that in time because I didn’t have copper and my little dottyback died.

Photos under white light. Please and thank you.

While I see a few dots, as mentioned the dark pics show what may be lympho over ich but unconfirmed.
Lymphocystis is a condition and not disease and viral due to poor water quality and /or diet.
Assure ammonia-nitrate levels are NOT elevated.
What foods are you feeding

In addition to clearer photos taken under white light, we also need some background information - water quality, how long you've had the fish, what you have treated them with so far, etc. The helpful information is outlined here:
