Is this ick?!?!

My clown has white spots all over and I don’t know if it is ick or not. Please help!

Yes appears to be so.

Any other symptoms? Is it eating?

Is this fish in your display tank?

Please refrain from multiple posts. Was going to ask for pictures and saw this second post. Although it has the appearance of ich, I did notice in smaller pic the mucus and slime around its face and gills. Adding to it, there is a fuzzy appearance to its colors. At this point you will notice that rapid respiration develops, and fish often gasp for air at the surface as the gills become clogged with mucus. Very quickly the fish will become lethargic, refuse to eat, and its colors will fade. The most noticeable symptom of Brooklynella is the heavy amount of slime that is produced by a fish that has contracted this parasite. As the disease progresses, a thick whitish mucus covers the body. This will usually start at the head and spread outward across the entire body. Skin lesions appear and it is not uncommon for signs of secondary bacterial infections. These lesions often confused with Oodinum.
Typical treatment is a standard formalin solution is mixed with either fresh or saltwater in a separate treatment container. Initially, all fish are given a quick dip in the formalin at a higher concentration, followed by continued treatment in a prolonged bath of formalin at a lower concentration in a quarantine tank (QT). Of course, the longer the fish are exposed to the formalin treatment, the more effective it will be at eliminating this disease.
If a formalin solution is not available for immediate use, temporary relief may be provided by giving fish a FW bath or dip. Even though this treatment will not cure the disease, it can help to remove some of the parasites, as well as reduce the amount of mucus in the gills to assist with respiration problems.
Treatment is best done in a QT tank. Ruby Rally pro will also works, just will take a little longer

Some examples of accelerated brook:
