Is this ICH? Clown & Copperband

[nemolover11]

Hi, I recently just added this Copperband Butterfly into my 120 gallon tank. We noticed he had one small dot on his fin, but it lightened the day after we put him in the tank. Now I can see a few dots on one of my clowns. Is this anything to be worried about? We are fairly new to this and are sometimes overreactors & are super afraid of the ICH wiping out our tank. Everyone is eating fine and no other abnormal behavior. Thanks in advance!

May be lymphocystis which both these fish are susceptible to and is viral, not disease. If ich, you will see added dots as ich multiplies every 24 hours

Looks like ich to me.

Do you have the ability to dose with copper or run hyposalinity? These both would require a tank with just your fish, no invertebrates.
