?lymphocystis or ich

I have attached the pics of the affected clown. I just added fish to the aquarium yesterday( 2 perc clowns, coral beauty and a BHT ) The levels are WNL. I did not note these changes on the fish when I added him but they were there today. He is not scratching and is eating. Very active. I have placed him in a QT bowl, I will plan on getting a 10g. any Idea what this is, do I treat it and if so how? What about the other fish? Thanks.
I do have some inverts in the display tank.

Guys, I need some help here. The white stuff is spreading. Fish still looks good though. He was acclimated with the lights off, floated the bag for 15 min, then added a cup of my tank water every 5min, then spilled out half and repeated the process, added the fish to the tank after the bag was full a second time. I added two clowns and one of them fell in the sink for a second. It may have been this one. Thanks again.

I'm not sure what it is, but I don't think it's ick. If you had a refractometer and a QT, a hyposalinity course wouldn't hurt, but I wouldn't resort to copper unless you're sure it's ick and can't do hypo.

Hard to tell, I'd guess fungal?

Thanks, but I lost him.

We are sorry for your loss.

Does the store you bought him from have a return policy? Something that develops that quickly is almost certianly something he had before he came to your home.

Is this a brand new tank? Is it cycled?

The place I bought the fish from was reefhotspot.com. They have VG prices and are supposed to have a 14d guarantee. I am waiting to hear back from them.
Yes, the tank had been cycled for 2months and levels were normal for 2weeks prior to adding the fish. I had 3 damsels that I returned to the LFS so the bioload should not change much.
Thanks again
