Clowns are sick

[Karen Adams]

Yesterday my male and female clown fish were fine and today are swimming sideways. It also looks like something is eating away at their fins. Any idea? I dont want my other fish to get sick.
Is it marine ick?

+1 Could be flukes or a bacterial infection.

How long have you had these clownfish? Brooklynella is always a worry with new specimens.

I have had them over a year. I recently go an angel fish that died after two weeks. The angel fish has been out of the salt water for a week. He started swimming sideways and looked like he had white on him.

Here's a link by our own Meredith, where you can scroll through some amazing pictures of most saltwater fish diseases. See if you spot your clown's & angel's appearance: https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/fish-disease-index-pictorial-guide.285708/#post-3473098

Those pictures look very much like Brooklynella (clownfish disease)

Check that link out for ways to treat it. Unfortunately you'll need to pull all the fish and treat everybody, leaving the display fallow for a minimum of 6 weeks.
