Ich looks like the fish has been sprinkled with salt. Some fish can fight through it, I lost both of my tangs to it.

I strongly recommend you google it and learn about the parasite. You can treat either with cupramine or hyposalinity. But make sure it's actually ich first

Fish/inverts can get bubbles just "stuck" on them. If they ever touch air or go under a bubble wall or something like that they can get little bubbles everywhere.

Sounds like ich to me...Not too many people( and none i know of ) have bubble wands or any sort of bubbles in saltwater tanks

I've seen it. Sometimes my batfish literally gets bubble on her sometimes then she swims and it comes off.
