I've got some clowns and a blue spotted jawfish that have come up with some disease. It's been noticeable for about 5 days now. Attached are some pictures of the clowns and I'll try and get a picture of the jawfish.

Looks like a case of brooklynella based on the amount of slime on its body. Often the fish will lose its appetite and even have increased breathing respiration
You can give it a 5 minute freshwater dip in a Clean container with tap water the same temperature as it’s tank and then treat with ruby rally pro as there is a shortage of formaldehyde based medication
Ruby will take a couple of days to start working but will work

+1 on that being Brooklynella. The blue spotted jawfish is going to be REALLY difficult to treat for this - catching it up for a dip is going to be too rough.
