Default possible ich

ok so our fish have been completely normal no signs of sickness whatsoever....this morning our large neon striped whatever damsel is hanging out in the sand both eyes cloudy as can be and our clown has turned from a normal yellow to a darker mustard color with white dots all over him.......the damsel witht e affected eyes hasno spots......the clown is still swimming and acting normal and all the other fish seem healthy also..............should i treat this as if it were ick or does someone have any ideas as to what else it may be since it came on so fast..............we did do a water change......removed 4 gallons and replaced obviously the tank is only a 12 gallon.......i am just concerned about killing our anemone and corals in treatment any help we be appreciated

I hope you have a quaratine tank you can move it to. A simple 10-20 gal will do.

If it's eyes are still cloudy use marycyn as directed.

Quarantine the fish for 4-6 weeks to make sure he doesn't affect the other fish.

Keep an eye out on your clown...the ick cycle usually runs about 6 weeks.
