I have two clown fish one fish started to show symptoms of ich what I beleve it is anyways, it has white spots it started with few but now there is more as well I noticed the fish starting to fade in color. I have two pictures from over a week ago and a few more of him now. Can anyone help me out on treating it and properly identifying what is it.

I think its brooklynella but experts should be able to confirm that. I am pretty sure they are wilds (since hosting nems) rights? If so, and by the looks of fading, it seems like brooklynella.

I am on the verge of loosing mine through this :( It sucks!

It's hard to see from the pics but if it is in fact ich, I've treated 3 fish with herbtana microbe lift successfully and no losses. Stay away from kordons ich attack as well as copper unless you have a tank for quarantine. IME and IMO herbtana is a great product.

I think it's marine ich. Brook kills fast, within days if not hours after you notice the symptoms. Other than dying quickly, fish with brook are also producing excess mucus and having cloudy eyes. Your fish don't have those symptoms from the pictures.
BTW, anemone can host captive breed clown.
To OP, are you willing to catch all fish and put them into a quarantine tank, treat the fish in QT and leave the display tank fish-less or 9+ weeks? That's the only way to get rid of ich in your DT. Other methods are just band-aid solutions.

Doesn't look like Marine Ich to me - the spots are too big
Nor does it look anything like brook or velvet

I'm going to guess it's burns from the nem

Don't know about that. I have 2 that host a hammer coral and have black marks from the stings. SleepyPirate, do you have any more info? Are they acting normal? Rubbing against anything and have normal appetites?

Though one. I'm grasping at straws. What about some sort of fluke? What is their stool like? I have successfully treated for flukes with PraziPro in the past. They were on my green chromis.

Burn from nem? they are clownfish. I never seen clownfish get "burn" from nem. They get black spots yes, but that does not do them any harm.

Just tryin' to help and threw out a though :smile:

Does anyone agree with me that it doesn't look like MI, Brook, or Velvet ?

And does anyone have a diagnosis ?

I can give the best suggestion: take it to a marine biologist :)
