For anyone who cares, I tried a lot of things Pellets, flakes (different kinds), brine shrimps (frozen) and what really made my Clown eat and move is the live brine shrimp nauplii.
Seems obvious as they are live food but it's fun how the clown just goes at it
No stoping , eats it like popcorn, moves a lot and eat good food.
I would totally recomend it.
I guess gut loaded Brine Shrimps would be best but that's not something everyone can handle
I only have 2 weeks old brine shrimps right now ... probably as nutritive as Naupliis

So my clown will lose his rock in his QT.
Wounds are still growing even though he seems fine.
I think this requires stronger threatment, i'm going for copper or anything that I will find a LFS that's written STRONG on it

I don't know what if any research you have done on your fish's condition, but from the picture and my limited experice looks like fin rot, malachite Green isn't doing anything for it. Throwing random "strong" stuff from the LFS probably isn't the best option either.
Looks like you may have several things going on at once. Potential Brook (skin issue), prolapsed anus could be an indication of an intestinal issue, and finally fin rot. Not sure what led you to use Malachite Green, but it is less than likely to dp anything for any of the listed conditions. You need antibiotics, spectrogram, NFG, or a combination of Meteoplex-furan2 and kanaplex for fin rot; metroplex/general cure for Brook, and potentially general cure+focus+selcon for intestinal issues.
Hopefully more knowledgeable people than me chime in, but you're gonna need to do some leg work on this and not just randomly throw medications at the poor fish.

Troll alert
Lol you took literal my determination to find better.
If I was anywhere how you think I am, I would throw a couple of copper wires in there wishing something will happen ;Wacky
Insulting me wont give you any kind of respect. ;Stop
Please dont start another comment with I dont know much but blah blah blah.
I have google like everyone else and I have this fish for years.
I had reefs for 15+ years and I battled many diseases.
All I wany is him goig better you aint helping a bit.
Here in Canada we are NOT allowed to have medecin for fish from the LFS becose it is a veterinary act.
Next time do your researchs.
There is one 200 km from here , I simply have to bring him my fish.
