Hi, I have a pair of wild-caught clownfish currently in my QT not eating for almost 2 weeks. Over the time they developed this white spot on their body and for the past few days having white string poop.

Here's what I did:
1. I did a freshwater dip and nothing comes off.
2. Dosed Prazipro for 2 days and the white string poop started to come out.
3. Dosed kanaplex and metroplex in the past 48 hours.
4. Tried a variety of food with garlic xtreme and selcon, which was completely ignored by them...
5. I have ordered ruby rally pro. Should arrive in 2 days.
6. Dosing buffered vitamin C to detoxify cyanide considering they are wild caught.

Is this ich or velvet? What's the next step to save their lives? Thank you!
