A tomont (encysted stage of ich, velvet, brook) could have hitchhiked in on the conch's shell. Keep a close eye out for symptoms.

No, a FW dip would only provide temporary relief if this were velvet, brook or flukes.
Could be, clownfish sometimes exhibit strange behavior. I had one that tried to make some nori on a clip it's host.Could this just be normal behavior. Maybe my intake pipe has decided to host my clown?

Clowns can claim a spot to host and pretty much stay there a good portion of the time. Mine are almost always next to the powerhead on the left side of my tank. Clowns can be very weird sometimes.

Thanks, I think he will be ok. I just am very various when he comes to pests and diseases. I am going to post a picture of a RBT hosting a clown to the side of the tank and see if he follows. I have heard it works
Thanks

I have done my share of panicking over clownfish behavior. I think once you are aware of all that could go wrong (and especially if you have lost a fish), it's hard not to over analyze. I'm sure he will be fine since you are obviously keeping a close eye on him and are ready to act if needed. It's likely he is just weird, since he is a clownfish.

Thanks, he wasn't for sale but I talked the owner of the store into letting me get him. I love his patterns!!!!!Normal Clown behavior. Worry when they hang out in the corner at the surface, do not eat, breathing heavily. Nice clown BTW.
