clownfish wont eat and has been staying in the bottom corner

[ihatetomatoclowns]

I woke up and my clownfish was in the bottom corner breathing heavy, it was early so I figured it was still sleeping. However, it hasn't moved from there other than swimming back and forth around my sand for about 5 hours and won't eat. My other clownfish is fine, and my tailspot blenny is fine. I added the clowns a week ago, and my tailspot yesterday. Salinity is 1.026, PH is 8. I haven't tested much else. I don't know what to do. I do not see white spots, other than a small white speck on its lip. It was a lighter color than the other clownfish whenever I bought it, but my LFS said it was just different breeders. Please help, I don't know what to do.

Pic very dark and fuzzy but preliminarily looks like brooklynella
Is fish breathing normal or heavy?
If normal , you can give it a 5 minute freshwater dip and then treat in tank with ruby rally pro

Agree, cloudiness on body in second pic is mucus which indicates brook.

I don't have that or any other treatment. Should I flush it so it doesn't spread to my other fish?

I won’t suggest to flush it unless truly dying
Freshwater dip should help to tie you over
General cure may help if no Ruby rally

Okay.

I don't have general cure, I have literally nothing for disease or parasite treatment.

Idk what you mean truly dying, but it has been under a rock for like the last 5 minutes curled up breathing even heavier.

It died. I'm hoping my other fish don't get it.

Sorry to hear
It was from the looks of it very weak
Maintain good water quality and diet
Try to obtain ruby rally pro, copper safe and general cure or prazi pro to keep on hand for things like this that can potentially come up
Don’t waste your money on products that claim to be reef safe

looks like your silicone is compromised in this photo! Is that sand or separation at the silicone joint? If it is, you will have a much bigger problem on your hands soon. The tank could pop a leak or explode open.
