White spots on my Tomini Tang??

That's just another proof that ick don't really go away. It just stay at a low level of infection on the gills and waits for the proper moment to multiply and infect more.

I have recently read of someone not having ick for 3 years and after a tank move lost a lot of fish to the ick, although there was nothing new added, just the stress of moving.

This does not happen when ick is properly treated from the begining and really gone from the tank.

Is there anything I can do? pics were not possible as he darts around very quickly and is camera shy.

How's your Tomini Tang doing? Bristletooth are supposed to be relatively strong against ich. We accidently introduced it by adding an infected skunk clown (he was hiding in the anemome we bought with him and didn't see the ich) and our tomini ended up with a few spots. With keeping the water as pristine as possible and soaking food in garlic we haven't seen ich in months. I believe if you have a mild infection it's possible to treat it this way with having to remove all your fish. Wasn't possible for us because we only had a 15g quarantine. Of course better to quarantine in the first place
