Cloud this be early signs of Brookynella?

[jy808]

I had just noticed 1 of my clownfish swimming on the bottom corner of the tank breathing heavily. Something didn't seem right.

I then noticed these patches on its skin (similar to when you take off a latex glove and the powder remains on your hands after its removed).

My first thought would be Brookynella.

After i had turned off my lights thinking it may help with any stress. It straight away swam and joined the other clownfish, no longer swimming in that corner after lights out.

Picture may be hard to tell.

Could this be an early sign to Brookynella?
I do have a QT but won't be able to house all my fish should i have to..

Our of the 4 clownfish i have in the tank. This is the only one showing these signs.

I also have 2 BTA that haven't hosted any clownfish yet. I put them in a week ago. So not sure if any stinging would have occurred (have read something about this)

Good eye. I'd keep a very close eye on that fish. At the first signs of Brook, you can do Freshwater dips to relieve the fish of a considerable number of parasites. Some have had success by treating Brook just with repeated FW dips, kinda like TTM. Here's a couple of threads that may help:

Brooklynella hostilis What You Need To Know: * This is most often seen in clownfish, but it can afflict any fish. The fish’s skin will appear to be peeling or sloughing off, oftentimes causing excessive white mucous to form around the affected area(s). * Treatment of choice is a 45 minute...

Thanks @Big G.

Just woke up now to see just 1 white spot on its fin, maybe due to stress of whatever is happening to its skin or slime. Still showing rapid breathing but other than that seems fine. I think the paleness has slightly disappeared.

Would you suggest a fresh water dip and then back into DT as a precautionary measure?

A freshwater dip could help to understand the rapid breathing. It will confirm or eliminate flukes from the possible causes.
