Possible Ick on fish

During the day, I cannot see any white spots or discoloration on two of my fish - a green chromis and a yellowtail damsel.
At night, under the moonlight, I can see spots on parts of their body. Is this Ick? or is this just the way the scales look at night?

my guess would be just the reflection from the lights on the scales. but i would still keep an eye on them just to make sure

Sometimes fish can appear discolored at night. If you can't see anything on them during the day then you probably don't have a problem.
