I'm sorry to say, that sounds like clownfish disease (aka brooklynella hostilis). I lost my whole tank (four fish at the time) to it almost a year ago, so I know how awful it is. Here is a resource that hopefully can help you in time. http://home2.pacific.net.ph/~sweetyummy42/brookynella.html

The clownfish with ich is in a hospital tank right? If so I would just treat with rid ich and do water changes in between doses. You have to treat until the spots have been gone for at least a week or they'll come right back.
