I bought a starving yellow tang several weeks and am happy to say that he's now all plumped out! However, sometimes he is covered with little bumps that look a lot like baby acne--the tiny white bumps that very young babies often have on their faces. Is this ich?

I had a clown die a few months ago (in a different tank) from what I thought was ich. He looked like he was coated with dust. The bumps on the tang are different, though. They are definitely small individual bumps that are on his body and fins. Sometimes I can see them, other times he looks perfectly healthy. I bought a cleaner shrimp that I hoped would take care of things, but so far, no luck.

Any idea what this might be?
