Clownfish White Spots

[RoanokeReef]

Added new longfin Friday (Black) and last day or two I’ve noticed spots on the orange longfin. The spots developed once the black clown fish started rubbing/dancing with the orange clown. I’ve had the orange long fin for roughly a month and no issues. Are the spots something I should worry about or are the from all the dancing?

Looks like early stage brooklynella. With brook, a layer of mucus generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus. The spots you see appear to be bacterial lesions. You can safely add and treat tank with ruby Rally Pro which will take a couple of days to start working

Ordered, thank you so much!

I would also say that the two clowns are fighting. If that doesn’t settle down soon you will need to separate them with a tank divider.

Just to verify I can use the Rally Pro in the display tank? I have a few corals and a Yashi / Pistol pair.

@vetteguy53081 @Jay Hemdal - Rall Pro comes tomorrow but had a question, the "spots" on the clown are almost completely gone. Is it possible this was from the other clown rubbing it or is this a normal stage of brook? Should I still just go ahead and treat the tank? The aggression has also subsided.
