is my clown getting ich?

[Wattman]

Sorry for blurry pics but today I noticed a very small patch of white below the top dorsal fin.

 

I have a ten gallon tank I can move her into to treat for ich. The tank she is in has a lot of coral and I've heard the medicine that kills ich can kill coral.

 

What do I use to treat ich??

copper is the only thing i know of that can treat ich but it can be stressful for the fish. not a reef safe treatment either.... what i did once a long time ago when my wyoming white had ich i did a fresh water dip for 7 or so mins (ive read do it for 10mins) but i was scared to leave him in there too long. anyways i had an air stone in there with him and kept an eye on him. after a week he got better but i fed heavily for the entire week and week after that.

 

you can also have another tank and do hypo salinity for a while until he gets better. good luck though, its a rough disease that can destroy fish in a matter of weeks.
