is it ich?
my powder brown tang has developed a single white bump on one side, and is swimming more aggressively than normal. all other fish are fine. is it ich, or are there other possibilities?

so what the likelihood that the rest of the tank isn't infected?

Yet! Powder brown would probably be the first to show signs of it. Is it a new fish, that hasn't been qt'd or did you add something recently that hasn't been qt'd?

Not sure. I just added a blue tang yesterday and he has a few spots, I don't qt and am going to feed real heavy and see what happens, that's just me, anyway my clown seems to be just fine. Keep us posted

Don't worry, I just made that newbie mistake too and had to take every rock out of my 90 gallon to catch all my fish last night and put them in 55 gallon qt to rid the tank of ich. To many years I got away without qt, but I just learned my lesson. If it doesn't come from divers den I will qt it.
