Agree - however the 'hosting the thermometer' - is odd for a clown (*unless being bullied into that corner). Weill just have to see. I'm not sure what bacteria it would be - without an underlying injury. If the fish was septic - with random lesions appearing - IMHO - that would not last long. Sorry to the OP - for a debate - however - this is not a clear issue

He’s always hung out in that corner. He obviously comes out from time to time and does swim around, but he spends a majority of his time there. It is a very odd situation and I have done a lot of research on it without a clear conclusion so I wanted to see what reef2reef had to say. No need to apologize either!

to the OP - do you have a plan of what you want to do after our deliberations - if not - lets create one

I just ordered a bottle of reef rally pro. Gonna try that in my display tank and go from there. Truth be told I am a college student with no stable income at the moment so I am trying to do all I can to help my clown out without spending too much money. I’m also trying to provide more photos that I took with different angles to hopefully provide a better view of him, but don’t know how to upload them in a reply (using my phone). Update I figured it out. Wanted to also include a picture of his right side to show there are no signs of this going on to help

I don’t personally think it’s injury, at least not from inverts. I have never once seen them interact and I observe the tank frequently

I do not think this is brooklynella after looking at all of the pictures and hearing the history - however - there are so many variables - I would treat the fish with something that would treat both Ich - and Brooklynella

Just out of curiosity, and for my own knowledge going forward, why do you think this is Ich as opposed to Brook? I really appreciate the help :)

Tanks two months old. It maybe that it’s getting bothered by something or maybe the water quality is out of wack. Test ammonia and nitrite with a different kit. If it’s eating good, leave it alone, just try not to over feed
