Hey everyone I just bought a clownfish last Tuesday and it’s been in a quarantine tank (an observation tank really).
I’ve been feeding him flakes and frozen combined with focus and general cure just in case he might have intestinal worms/parasites. He has an amazing appetite, I’ve been feeding 2-3 times a day.
Today I’ve noticed part of his body looks like his slime coat is coming off, or something of the sort, so I’m not sure if it’s Brooklynella or not.

Pictures are not showing up. By the sound your guess is correct but would like to see the pics to confirm.
