My yellow tang is covered in white spots. So is my clown fish who only swims in the same spot right next to the bottom. Also my potter angel has disappeared.

My yellow tang is covered in white spots. So is my clown fish who only swims in the same spot right next to the bottom. Also my potter angel has disappeared.

If the YT is completely covered in spots, it could very well be velvet aka Amyloodinium. Also, it would be unusual for a clownfish to show spots if this was just ich due to their very thick mucous coat.

I would assume the worst, and treat ALL of your fish in a QT with either copper or Chloroquine phosphate. Those will treat both ich & velvet. More detailed info on both treatments can be found here: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/treatment-options-102.189658/

Well one of my clown fishes died this morning so is it safe to assume I can't do anything anymore to save my fish?

If you leave them all in the DT, then prognosis is bleak.

However, you have the option of catching them all, putting them in a QT and treating with copper: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/how-to-quarantine.189815/

This does not guarantee their survival, but at least it gives your fish a fighting chance.

I don't have a qt so maybe I can get one tomorrow but even then it might be too late. Thanks for the help anyway.
