With corals, I wouldn't quarantine. Personally I have always just bought of reputable vendors that dip them. In future I am also going to buy the chemicals, and dip my corals before putting them in my DT. So, you can do some dips and just put them in the DT, IMO, no need to quarantine corals if you do this.
With the clown, the picture isn't that good, but personally I don't think its ICH. But I could be wrong.
As stated in other threads, I am not a big believer in QT tanks and treating for ICH, etc... I feel that catching a fish, stresses it out, then QT'ing it adds more stress, then you have to catch and move back to the main tank. Again more stress.
I don't treat or quarantine fish. I try to provide the best environment possible in my DT and feel doing so is the best thing for the fish. I have had ICH, and have only ever lost one fish to it. And I have never treated. Again just my opinion.
