Hi all,
Since this morning this Ocellaris Clown is mostly lying on the bottom breathing heavy, I could not spot any injuries. However his bottom side under/behind his gills is very pale. Overall he is very slim and doesn’t eat currently.
I did try a freshwater dip but id didnt seem to have had any effect. What should I do now? I cant get any meds for the next two days because shops are closed for easter
Clown are a little thin and discoloration suggest early brooklynella, With Brook, mucus generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus.
Here are some more photos in hopes that they may help. If there is anything i can do to help with the id i do own a microscope

No the second one is behaving normally for now, hope it stays that way until I can get meds for treatment

I see a second clownfish in the first photo. Is it showing any symptoms?
I am in germany, here we dont have ruby rally pro, I will try to find an alternative that is available here. Do you know if thr ruby stuff is reef safe/ safe for inverts and corals?Clown are a little thin and discoloration suggest early brooklynella, With Brook, mucus generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria.

Apply ruby rally pro to the tank. The longer the fish are exposed to the treatment, the more effective it will be at eliminating this issue.
Temporary relief can be achieved by giving the fish a FW bath or dip in water same temperature as display tank. Even though this treatment will not cure the disease, it can help to remove some of the parasites, as well as reduce the amount of mucus in the gills to assist with respiration problems.
Are they breathing normal or labored?
In your country, you can use waterlife Myxazin or NT Labs acriflavin
