clown appears to have secondary bacterial lesions which May have stemmed from brook but unconfirmed.
Is clown breathing normal or rapid?
is it eating ?
Any loss of color?

In a case like this you can treat for bacterial but I would suggest to treat as if it were brook which should address this also. Typical treatment is a formalin solution is mixed with in a separate container with either fresh or saltwater. Start with a quick dip in the formalin at a higher concentration then performing treatment in a prolonged bath of formalin base at a lower concentration in a quarantine tank. The longer the fish are exposed to the formalin treatment the more effective it will be at eliminating this issue.
Treatment is best done in a QT tank using either quick cure (more effective but now harder to find) or Ruby Rally Pro. Ruby takes a little longer and initial treatment generally takes 2-3 days to really start going to work.
A quarantine system if you dont have one can be as simple as a starter tank kit from walmart which has most of the essentials

Clownfish looks like she's breathing normal, just touched anemone for the first time today.

Just fed brine shrimp and she ate a bunch.

No loss of colour
