Rally Pro works for some things for some people. Part of any treatment depends on the extent of the disease. I assume OP that you're asking because you want to put it in your display tank with inverts.
To answer your specific question - I think it helps bacterial issues, flukes, and velvet.
Fin and tail rot are usually 'bacterial' - so it should help.
I assume 'clownfish disease' means brooklynella. My answer would be not as likely as the others.
I said 'helps' because I think there are better treatments for each of the ailments you mentioned - but there are many reasons to use Rally Pro. JMHO. It depends - do you want to treat in a display - with inverts, etc.
PS - I do not think that it works well for Cryptocaryon

I haven't personally used it. It contains a proprietary blend of an unknown concentration of formalin and a couple other things.
Because of the formalin, it theoretically could work at the right concentrations on a few diseases. Maybe it's not a bad idea as a safety stop dip before QT. I personally would be hesitant to use it in a reef with inverts (including corals) that I cared about.
I always recommend preventative QT with chelated copper (Copper Safe/Copper Power) and Prazi, and I usually don't like the idea of any meds in a display unless it's fish only.
