Dying clown. What can I do for my tank.

Just seeing this now, but I also believe brook was the culprit here. Brook doesn't always manifest with full blown symptoms and oftentimes non-clownfish will be unaffected. However, you probably won't ever be able to put more clownfish in your DT unless you pull all the fish, treat for brook and go fallow (fishless) in the DT for 6 weeks.

I would follow this completely. Also read the stickies in the Fish Disease Forum here:

Even if your existing fish don't have symptoms it will just be a ticking time bomb for you. Good luck!

Tank raised Clownfish are incredibly hardy they won't go for no reason.. It more than likely caught a parasite from another tankmate at a LFS. If your not going to QT its very important to get fish that have been QT or at least one that is feeding well. Where did you get this clownfish from?
So Internet has been off all day as well as all phone service so I haven't been able to post or see your replies. Sorry. And my LFS qts my fish for me since he kinda knows the situation I'm in and also he's 3 hours away. So he will let me know when he gets a shipment in, I'll tell him what I want and he will set aside the fish in a different system from all the other fish and treat them for me if anything comes up.
