    Okay so im a little worried about my clown fish. I dropped the pair of them in a week and a half ago and they were doing fine. two days ago i dropped in a blue hippo tang and a naso tang. today, i checked my one clown fish (the other does not have this), and it seems as though it was a WHITE film covering its body, almost looks like dead skin. no other fish have this. I couldnt snap a pic.

    the alkalinity was a little low last night so i added a buffer tonight. otherwise all the params are where they should be.

    just fed him and he hate, confused by that.

    does anyone know what this is? ich im thinking? what do do? help!!!

    Marine ICH does not produce a white film around the fish. ICH looks more like the fish was sprinkled with salt. That's all the help I can give, sorry :(
