If you say so, but I did ALOT of research on this when I imported saltwater fish...what you likely observed was the stage where the otherwise invisible internal parasite left the host fish (the white spots). Subsequent infection was not as serious, or the fish was strong enough not to get re-infected.

Provided the fish keeps eating (and assuming you can not easrily remove them to a suitable quarantine tank) ich is a reef is really not worth treating. Maintaining a very stable temperature (very little temp. fluctuation) is useful during this time (and always) as it is less stressful on the fish.
