Ich?
I just bought a couple of false percs from Gold's and when I got them home one seemed to look like it's molting for lack of a better word? and it has a few white spots that are only visible from a side angle? Could it be ich? If so, how do I treat?

In molting do you mean like skin sluffing off?
If so get it into quarintine as you are probably dealing with Velvet. Here is a link to it and see if it matches up with is going on http://saltaquarium.about.com/cs/fis...aa102797_3.htm

Ick doesn't involve skin coming off. That is velvet and will wreck havoc in your tank.
It may also have ick in regards to the white spots but velvet is what makes there skin slough off. I would quarintine him/her and treat it myself as velvet can make its way through your tank rather quickly. So can ick mind you  Just my 2 cents worth

Oh thats sooo not good.
I think that link that i gave you gives you some info on how to treat but i think your only option with that is to quarintine. Maybe someone else will chime in, in regards to treatment or other ideas.

Qt tank: just a bare tank, no rock, heater, if needed a pvc pipe to hide in. Can also include a filter (sponge or hob) with used filter material in it for an instant cycle.
Do you have any other fish in the system? If qt-ing and medicating is not an option you could always try adding garlic to their food every time they are fed for a period of time (hopefully someone on here would know how long is best). I have some garlic stuff at home for that purpose that you are welcome to borrow. I also have an "emergency" sponge you can have if you do end up running a qt and need that instant cycle.

There are 3 other fish in there one galaxy damsel? blue devil and another false perc. I was reading there that I could give him a freshwater bath....or that my cleaner shrimp would help.....but if you wouldn't mind me borrowing that garlic that would be great. When's a good time? Should I still try and setup a QT tank?
