Question Sick fish, don't know what they have.

Ok, last night I posted under the clown fish forum saying I had a sick clown (which he still is). He's been laying on the bottom of the tank, often on his side, but when I go over and put my finger on the glass, he gets up and starts swimming.

Now, I have a sick damsel. I don't think it is ich from what i've seen in pictures. It looks like he has raised red horns. Almost like blisters or something. I can't find any pictures in my books of what it could be. Any ideas?

We are getting a quarintine tank tonight, but want to know how we should treat the fish, and if everyone needs to be treated as this point.

I have a couple of pics of my sick fishes in my gallery.

I can't tell much from the pictures. I would treat every animal that's still live, and leave the tank fish-free for 6-8 weeks. Did you get any help in the clown forum?
