Does anyone have a minute to explain "flashing" to a newbie with two wonderful African Ciclids?

It's when fish rub against things because their skin is itchy. They do it in a quick flashing movement.

Common symptom of ich. But can be caused by anything that makes a fish itchy including other parasites, fungal or bacterial infections, ph swings or chemicals like chlorine in the water.
