Looks like a bacterial bloom.
We will need more info, how long has tank been set up? When were the fish added? Has your tank cycled properly?
If your tank is new and you just added fish, then the tank will clear up in a couple days. Your fish will be stressed and hopefully survive.

How long has the tank been set up?
What is your substrate? if it's too fine and you have too much current, it may cause cloudiness, but that should go away once the fines are filtered or settled out.
If its a bacterial bloom of some kind, that's another issue.

It’s been set up for a month
Royal Gramma and Clownfish were added after the second week and Pufferfish and Canary Benny were added last week.
Tank was cycled properly after 21 days

No It was fine the first week or so but has gradually gotten worse so that’s why I’m leaning towards a bacteria bloom. Is there any products that can sort it out or changes for it?

I am having the same issues folks saying it’s bacteria, some say it will balance out in due time others suggest UV

It’s been slowly clearing up. I put in a UV sterilizer and having dosing Prime and letting the bacteria bloom starve out. Seems to work but this has been 4 days
