Just noticed a few of my guys have a few spots in their fins, they are all eating well, acting normal... is there anything wrong you think?

That "1 thing" being ich most likely, especially if a few of your fish have it all of a sudden, parasites are likely.

What color? Can you post pics? If not lookup pics of parasites online and try to match it up with what you have.

I have a Yellow Tang, Chevron Tang, 2 saddleback clowns and a Russells lion.

The YT and one of the Saddlebacks have a couple little patches in their fins, not on the outside, hard to explain. I will try to get pics soon

hmm I don't see any spots but my yellow tang is scratching!!! could 0.2 amonia cause that? fighting a bit of amonia after moving the tank.
