So 10 days ago I brought home a pair of nice clownfish from my LFS and put them in QT. QT tank fully cycled and ready to go. They were fat and happy and looked good.

Have been feeding them mysis and pellets and they were eating fine. Giving them a 10-20% water change every few days, testing for ammonia, everything going fine.

Ordered some prazipro (my LFS doesn't stock many meds) which finally came in today.

Last night I noticed the davinci swimming into the current a lot. Still ate a few pellets. Today he's spending a lot of time on the bottom of the tank, very lethargic. Ate one pellet and one mysis. My snowflake in QT is super active, exploring the tank, and fattening up nicely.

Noticed white areas today around the front of the davinci. Yay. Pics attached. None apparent on the snowflake.

Went ahead and dosed prazi as previously planned per the dosing instructions tonight. Planning on a second dose in 6-7 days.

Not sure what the davinci has developed or where I should go from here. Thoughts?

Looks like the white area is peeling/lifting off. Is that what you are seeing? If so, looks like Clownfish disease aka Brook.

Treatment: 60-90 minute bath in Ruby Reef Rally, then transfer into a fresh, sterile QT and either dose the QT with CP or with the more readily available Metro. Dose every 48 hours for 10-14 days.

Ok. Thanks for the ID. Don't have a second QT tank, think I'm going to need to transfer them out of this one tonight, sterilize this one, perform a freshwater dip, then put them back in.
