Hey everyone, right now I have two ocellaris in my tank with some hermits and snails. One Clown has been in for about 2 weeks and the second added 4 days ago. I was looking at them today and I saw some white spots on the fins of the smaller Clown. They both seem active and healthy, eating well and all that. No super abnormal behavior except the larger one likes to swim back and forth super fast in the front of the tank when I get too close.

Here's a video, I can get more pictures if needed.

 
That tail is moving so fast hard to tell. It may be viral suggesting possibility of lymphocystis. If so, focus on both water quality and diet.
Suggested:
Temp 77-79
ph 8.1-8.3
salinity 1.025
nitrate < .5
Ammonia < .03

If youre using API test kit, you may be getting false readings and actuals are higher than test is showing.
 
Here are some more pictures. It's kinda hard to get a good one lol.
