In the situation that I mentioned about receiving Blue Tang with white spots evident thru shipping bag from Divers Den. Remember Divers Den has quarantine > 60 days.

No other fish in this twenty five year old 75G tank displayed symptoms.
Not sure I would have put an observably infected fish in my display, but I don't doubt your experience. I know I have ich in my system, yet my fish are asymptomatic. I know because on occasion a new fish will show spots briefly, and then be clear.

Was kidding on the one year ....
