I've got 2 white spots on my Swallowtail angelfish. I'm pretty sure it's ich. The question I have is - can an anemone and hermit crabs handle hyposalinity? Thanks for any help!!

Answer is no and can you furnish a couple of pics of fish under white lighting? These fish are susceptible to lymphocystis and 2 dots not typical of ich

Probably not. It depends on the anemone. The crabs - possibly - depending on the type - and the salinity

BTW - I was focused on answering your question - but - how would you know the two white spots reflect something needing hypo salinity. Can you answer the typical question - as noted in my signature - OR - the link in one of the sticky threads above?
 

Looking back to your reefing roots: Did you start with Instant Ocean salt?
