Ok so I'm not crazy but all of those weird white spots are gone. They were there 3 hours ago and now none. I'll get all the background info as you requested and post it here shortly.Hi, welcome to Reef2Reef!

With marine ich, the spots will come and go. Mucus plugs can do so also, but not as quickly. Sand grains stick to fish mucus and later fall off.
