If you are talking about the white blotches, it is hard to say. Could be brook or velvet. Since it looks like a tank bred clown, I would lean more towards velvet. Either way, a freshwater dip with the same ph as your tank and temp would help. If it is velvet, 5 minutes will help get rid of it off the clown. Velvet doesn't do well with osmotic changes. 5 minutes would be the minimum amount of time.

Once a while I saw the other clown did. And I just added medium hippo and clown wrasse in friday. Idk if it happened before the new fishes or after but since last night this guy acted weirded and I noticed the light brown long marks on him. Like someone just get whipped and bruises up. There r no white spot on him I looked real good on the fish
