Could someone advice me about my clownfish. I've had my pair a month now. Very active and feeding well. But my female is currently full of white marks. Could someone is this for me. My male is fine no white marks. Thanks in advance.

Could be ich, did you quarantine them before adding them to the tank? Your sand looks like to big of grains to be sand stuck to her. Best bet would be to pull them out and quarantine them. Are there any other fish in the tank?
 
Brooks or velvet for sure...read the fish disease threads about how to treat and manage. The only way to fix it is to remove all fish from the system and put them in qt. Treat accordingly and allow your DT to be fallow for 76 days.
 
looking closely at the pics, it looks like blotches forming and not necessarily white specs. I'm leaning toward brook. You will want to put then through a rally bath, followed by qt and add metroplex to the qt. Leave the dt fallow for 76 days minimum.
 
Is she displaying any behavioral symptoms, such as increased breathing rate, swimming into the flow of a powerhead or hiding from the lights?

She may be the only one with spots, but the chances are just about 100% that he's also infected - along with every other fish in the tank.

+1, except I would probably treat with copper as well, just in case.

So acriflavine bath (ruby reef rally) followed by copper and metroplex in QT. Would treat ich, velvet, brook, and maybe even uronema if you're lucky [emoji12]Treat all fish, and leave your display fallow for 76 days.

Good luck!
