That appears to be an advanced case of marine ich, I can see the distinctive spots on the caudal fin.
Hi Jay,That appears to be an advanced case of marine ich, I can see the distinctive spots on the caudal fin.
Treatment is either coppersafe or hyposalinity in a treatment tank with no invertebrates. All fish will likely need to be treated.
If you can post a video of this I might be able to confirm and also tell you if the other fish in the tank have early symptoms yet.

I don’t see any definitive ich spots on the clowns, but they are breathing a bit fast.Hi Jay,
Please see video attached.
Fresh water dip administered to cowfish, unable to catch clowns atm
Ay advice welcome.

Thank you so much for coming back to us. We’ll follow your advice and keep fingers crossed they pull throughI don’t see any definitive ich spots on the clowns, but they are breathing a bit fast.
The first pic you posted of the cowfish is clearly ich though, so that means it is in your tank.
A freshwater dip isn’t helpful in this case, the ich trophonts are deep in the fish mucus so most survive the dip, and then, putting the fish back in the same tank just reinfects it.
To really cure this I’m afraid you’ll need to move all of the fish to a treatment tank and run either hyposalinity or copper.
