Uhgg... possible ick

[Kizmar]

Yesterday I introduced a 6 Line Wrasse and a Blue Dot Jawfish into my tank. This morning, I just noticed white spots on the two Firefish that have been in my tank for a week now. I'm guessing it's ick. This irritates me. Not sure what to do. I have 6 different coral frags in the tank that will NOT take well to an ick treatment.

Do I just hope it goes away and doesn't spread to my Wrasse and Jawfish?

As long as you fish are still eating, they will more than likely fight it off on their own.

However, you should only be adding one fish every 3 weeks so that the bacteria in your tank can catch up to the new load. Not doing so can cause a mini-cycle which is very stressful to fish and likely the cause of the ich.
