Weird spots on clownfish

[Pikachu]

Hello, I just came back from a trip and my clownfish has these weird spots. Please help identify what it could be.

Forgot to add, its the only fish in the tank. It seems to look (besides the gray spots) and act normal, and its eating.

I released the anemone from its acclimation box about 2 weeks ago, could it be stings? i havent seen the clownfish near it much though but the anemone pretty much moves every night. idk though im stressed and guessing at this point

Looks to be secondary bacterial lesions and may be associated with brooklynella. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus.
Start with a prolonged 60 minute bath of ruby rally pro then at a lower concentration in a quarantine tank. The longer the fish are exposed to the treatment, the more effective it will be at eliminating this issue.
Temporary relief can be achieved by giving the fish a FW bath or dip in water same temperature as display tank. Even though this treatment will not cure the disease, it can help to remove some of the parasites, as well as reduce the amount of mucus in the gills to assist with respiration problems.
Treatment is best done in a QT tank using either quick cure (more effective but now harder to find) or Ruby Rally Pro. Ruby takes a little longer and initial treatment generally takes 2-3 days to really start going to work.

I was thinking brook as well but Its odd seems it doesn't seem to be lethargic and acting normally with this big amount of spots. No stores near me got ruby so I gotta order it. Itll supposedly come in tomorrow. Would that be too late?

Sorry my other reply didnt seem to get released. I dont have ruby but I do have metronidazole on hand. Ive heard that works for brook as well, should I try that?

No.....metro which has to be used precisely and Formalin based meds best but general cure has a small amount within. Acriflavine safest and best and is contained in Ruby Rally pro

FW dip for 5 mins will buy you some tme. Some LFS carry this. Its also safe for inverts and coral

I think the fish needs a clearer analysis - can you get a video of it under white lights? I can tell better as to what this is if you do.....

Unfortunately I woke up and it was dead :(
