Thank you for the response. I don’t see the link. Is there still a chance for my clownfish? What do you need to know?Welcome to Reef2Reef!
That is a very serious lesion based on its size. Did it develop all at once, or did it grow larger with time? Is this fish still eating? Do you have a treatment tank to move the fish to?
Take a look at the link below in my signature line, it gives more information that is helpful for us to know about your tank.

Where can I get antibiotics?Almost looks like that of Uronema and highly infected. Dont even know if a freshwater bath would be helpful. Antibiotics at this point.
You can also find the link n the sticky section at the top of the disease forum. For some reason, the link below doesn’t show up for some people.Thank you for the response. I don’t see the link. Is there still a chance for my clownfish? What do you need to know?
Could it be Brooklynella
Dont rule Brook out which is most similar symptomatically to Oodinum and is also a parasite that primarily attacks the gills first. At the onset, fish may scrape up against objects, rapid respiration develops, and fish often gasp for air at the surface as the gills become clogged with mucus. Very quickly the fish becomes lethargic, refuse to eat, and its colors will fade. The most noticeable difference that sets Brooklynella apart from Oodinium is the heavy amount of slime that is produced by a fish that has contracted this parasite. As the disease progresses, a thick whitish mucus covers the body. This will usually start at the head and spread outward across the entire body. Skin lesions appear and it is not uncommon for signs of secondary bacterial infections to arise, such as redness and fin rot.Could it be Brooklynella
