Looking for assistance identifying the disease. Had a brook outbreak a long time ago and went fallow a lot longer than recommended. Unfortunately it looks as though I’m going through it again. Aside from corals and inverts, there’s only 2 Ocellaris Clownfish in my DT currently.
Day one in DT saw some spots on both clownfish, day 2-3 spots seemed to be disappearing. Both fish were eating well and looking mostly normal. Fast forward a few days and the smaller of the 2 fish started losing color (only noticeable under white light) and has some large patches of white throughout his body and while it seems very interested in feeding, it doesn’t eat (frozen mix, or pellets). It did have similar spots, but they’re hard to see if they’re still there.
Larger of the 2 is eating just fine but now looks worse. Fish were NOT QT’d. (QT tank sprung a leak days in and haven’t had the time to address the issue)
In my experience with Brook, once I noticed something was off with my clowns, they were covered in mucus the following day and dead within 24 hours. This hasn’t been the case here but I’m still concerned it’s Brook.
Thanks in advance!
Hard to get a good photo, but here is one of the clownfish:
