I have this clownfish in qt for 3 months and he has been healthy so far, he has a three banded damselfish as a companion, I'm not used to using meds in qt unless needed, a few days ago while taking a video of him note It seemed to have some pale spots but I'm not sure what I saw so I would like more opinions on whether this guy has signs of brookynella or velvet, the fish eats very well and is quite aggressive towards the damselfish, which I also observed up close and has no signs of disease so far, I posted the following photos so look at them and tell me what you think, do not photograph the fish directly in the tank as there is little lighting and a flash shot would not help.

Photos through plastic bags are not ideal. A video of the fish swimming in the tank helps a lot.

In the third photo down I can see three spots that I can't rule out as being ich.

You have pics of fish in the bag - its documented proof of an issue with fish and I would take it back and exchange for a different Maroon clown and do note these fish can get downright nasty if they want. Dots look like secondary lesions but a guess with the difficulty in seeing fish in a bag due to reflection from ambient light
 
I hope the video works, I just observed the fish and it doesn't have any white dots, only one that is part of the coloration of the bands, it's a very unpleasant type and sometimes it does not let the damselfish eat, I'm preparing these fish for sale, I would hate if there are any signs of disease at this point.

I can't see any ich spots on the fish, but the tank has a lot of condensation on it.

It's very hot where I live, so the room where I have my tanks I always keep as cool as possible, the air conditioner runs maybe 12-14 hours a day, and luckily it stays cool when it's not on. We have struggled with temperatures of 40°C at times, so it is necessary.
