Tiny white moving dots all over fish and glass
I have had my tank for a while now and it's doing fabulous. But I noticed a few days ago that there was tiny little white specks moving a around all over the glass and they were even all over my fish. My hippo tang has been phased the most by it. And I woke up yesterday to find tang dead. Now there's not so many in the glass but they're still all over my clowns. What is it and how do I fix it?

An image of the live clown and the critters on the glass would go a long way in figuring out the issue. Typically copepods (harmless) can be found on the glass along with other types of zooplankton. The fact that you're witnessing something similar on the fish is very strange if the fish is alive and swimming.
I suspect you're seeing Marine Ich on the fish and the typical zooplankton on the glass. |

If it looks like salt on your fish it is most likely ich / brook (need pic) Can you get a pic...I have been told brook kills faster then ich. A pic will help
also what is the info on your tank..? params / size / ect. and I am sure other people will be able to help you...
