So I have a pair of two longfin clownfish and they look a little powdery, but I’ve had them since August and they are both eating well everyday twice a day , is there something wrong with them ?

@Jay Hemdal
Looks like brooklynella, especially by the description of powdery:

How long have they looked like this? Brook is a fast killer.
Formalin is the best treatment, and it’s best to do so outside of the display tank.
Fish have to stay out of it for 6 weeks minimum to starve whatever of the brook remains in the tank.
Another possibility is velvet, but that is more spotty rather than patchy. I also see some HITH damage to the gills, which I have seen in my clowns when they had brook.

They have had this since September and they eat every single day twice a day, they eat mysis,flakes, and pellets

Sorry I didn’t get back to this sooner
It looks like brook to me, but brook is supposed to kill FAST, so if they’ve had it this long it can’t be…
