Typically shows up on the fins first and looks like white specs. The specs are actually cysts so they won't all be the same size.

Is this ich

That looks like ick to me. And once you see it you have to work quick to get rid of it. If it gets in their gills then they are toast. Ick works in cycles so you may see the spots one day and then not the next. Then all of a sudden all your fish have it. Once it gets in your system you need to either treat your whole tank (but not if it's reef). The best way is put the fish in QT and treat with copper or malachite green(Quick Ick).

Would it be better to take the corels out and snails. If the fish have to come out ill have to take all the rock out to catch the fish.

Looks like it to me, PBTs are notorious for getting the parasite. Unfortunately the parrasite is now in your display tank. What else do you have in the display and do you have a QT or hospital tank?

turn up the heat in the tank also this will help kill the ich

That could be problematic as well as not uber effective for marine ich in my opinion.

You know i was kinda thinking that. Would turning the heat up damage the Corals ? ( i plan on turning my 30g FW into a salt water tank soon )
