Hey guys so, I have had this tank set up for a few months and I just bought a Banggai Cardinalfish which come to find out after I brought him home he was wild caught so I pulled him from my display tank and put him in a QT tank (I’m still new to the hobby so I didn’t QT him before which I now realize was a bad idea) he appears to have some sort of internal parasite which I’m treating with api general cure, 2 days after I removed him I noticed what looks like a chalk film on my clownfish and a white spot. I am thinking this is potentially a parasite or ich or maybe Brook and I wanted to get a second opinion in case I am being paranoid. He is still active and eats well but I noticed my female is flashing on the silicone at the corners of my tank

If it is in fact a disease how should I go about treating him and can I treat my Display tank with a Condy anemone?

In the image I see the spots right below his dorsal fin

Looks Like Ich to me... Should QT all your fish now.. That you currently have... Then that opens up a whole different can of worms... Like if there is now ICH in your tank.. are you going to go Fallow for 78 days?
 
Looks like ich, I wouldn't treat the tank with the nem in it as the medication would most likely harm it.

Ok well that’s kinda good news I was really worried it was brook, do y’all have any suggestions on what to treat with? I have ich X would that work well with saltwater I know it’s really good for fresh

Ich X will probably work well but make sure to move the diseased fish into a separate quarantine tank so you don't kill the anemone.
