Clownfish was spending time near tank surface. A week after arrival she was dead. Now my Lionfish has spots too. :(

Tough to really see much on a dead fish. Can you post a video of the lionfish?

Brooklynella is most often seen on clownfish, but if you see spots on the lionfish, it could be ich.

Edit: I see you have another thread going on this issue.....best to keep everything in one spot.

Lionfish doesn't have spots anymore. I think it had dust or smth and I was panicking at the time of posting this and I think I just mistook them as the same thing.

You don’t have a video under bright white lights before the fish passed?

That could be - but ich spots will often come and go early on, so you'll want to watch it closely for any return of the spots.
