I have a newly cycled 65g with 2 clowns, 1 coral beauty and a CUC. one clown had what looked like small small air bubbles but would be gone after an hour and back on another area later. Now I see what looks to me a white, really small lump on right side right in front of the gill. I just got a QT tank today and added water, filter, bottled bacteria and a live rock to kick start a cycle. Fish is doing well and other fish are great. Not sure if ich comes and goes like this is doing. I did slow the powerbeads since micro bubbles were everywhere. Should I QT anyway or wait for a cycle to be done in the QT tank. I didn't know how fast that bottle bacteria actually works. White light is this morning and blue light from tonight

So as if right now orange one is clear except one spot on the right side in front of gill. Does Ich usually come and go? And yes I got the QT today and added water, filter and powerhead with some bottled bacteria. Didn’t know if I could QT them right away like that with a new tank
 
In my experience certain fish get ich and really really bad and they die from it.. others get it and it comes and goes.. and others just never get it at all.

I have ich in my reef tank and i just manage it and stick to fish i know that never catcj it.. damsels and blenny fish never seen to get it.. my flame hawk never gets it. Green chromis never get it.. the bangai cardinaks never get it either.. my royal gramma gets it but it isnt too bad and it goes away.. BUt tangs and dwarf angelfish get it bad and always die from it.

So i dont bother with those fish.. TEaring apart my reef to catch fish that never catch it to dose copper and wait 72 days for an empty tank iant something i wanna do so i just stick with the 11 fish i got and it seems to work fine
