Ya there's ich in saltwater but what puzzles me is the white spots are on the glass ich appears on the fish but the way you describe the fishes mannerisms sounds like ich when my fish had ich they would rub against the rock trying to get it off I'm kinda puZzled because the white spots are on the glass I am not going to classify this as a confirmed case of ich

the white spots on the glass are normal. probably pods. If they're both scratching they might be getting ich but you cant always see it in the early stages. How long have you been set up? how long have the fish been in there?

i have had the damsle for 3 months hes not really acting weird its the clown which i got 5 days ago along with 2 anneomes on occasion he scratches his head on a rock and he is twitching and keeps pummiling into both anneomes. But he still eats??? and acts fine other than that

eh, just keep an eye on him. the pummeling of the anenomes is normal for them... the scratching not so much... but they can do that if they're anxious. If the damsel looks ok, flush him (jk, maybe) and keep an eye on the clown. do you have any selcon or garlic juice? always good to add a drop or two to the food to keep their immunities up. Dont worry about the bugs on the glass. Its a sign of a normal healthy aquarium. :victory:
