My clownfish has been in QT for about a week getting treated for marine velvet but I noticed one of its eyes was bigger than the other what is it what do I do? Clown also has fungus.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Very likely popeye. You can try adding epsom salt UPC unscented - 1 spoon per 5 gallon and repeat in 48hrs. If that doesn’t help you’ll have to treat with antibiotics.

Agree.

Also some photos of the affected fish as well as symptoms would be helpful. Oftentimes clownfish “fungus” is actually brooklynella. Brook is very common in clowns and fungus is almost unheard of in marine fish.

I couldn't get a picture of the brooklynella because it's on the bottom of the fish and she was only hanging out on the bottom.
