It could be ick, but it's pretty small. Velvet is another possibility. When did the first sign show up? How long have the spots been on them?
Ok, sorry i was sleeping. But first signs where when i took the picture. And ive had these clowns for 3-4 months. Always eat and never showed any weird signs. Only been in new tank with my live rock for 5 days. I set up new tank, new sand and my live rock from a 65 gallon tank i sold.

Are the spots still there now? If so, then you'll want to treat them. The cleaner shrimp will not be able to eat ick. It burrows under the skin and the shrimp can't get to it there. They mostly eat dead skin cells, so don't get one unless you really wanted one.
I'd recommend treatment. In this case I'd go with copper in a QT for all of your fish. Leave the display fallow for 76 days to cover either eventuality. There's also CP which is a better med to use(depending on the types of fish you have) if you can get a hold of it.
Here's info on both:
Copper
Chloroquine phosphate
