I cleaned their tank yesterday and all seemed fine. But I wake up this morning and the newest fish to the family has white spots on her. Itā€™s on her belly and some near her face. Though her colors are little different from the others Iā€™ve never noticed the white on her before. Iā€™m new to owning fish and Iā€™m trying to make sure they all say healthy. Is there anyway I can know for sure what it is? Could it be just her marking? Or should I be worried? And what can I do to help her?

Any pictures of the fish under a standard light? The blue/actinic light can distort things.
Not at the moment. But I will take one in the morning. But Iā€™m thinking itā€™s ick because now all my fish has some kind of white on them. She has it the most. But Iā€™m not 100% and I donā€™t wanna hurt them if itā€™s not it. But I will most definitely post a picture in normal light first thing in the morning
 
How did you do your water change?
They could have a drainage system, so they can just pull a plug out. A drainage system would be a risk if you had young children though.l, they would probably be curious about what the lever does, then dad comes home to an empty tank with dead fish and coral everywhere in the tank, lol.
