Velvet or brook?

[MnFish1]

My apologies - in my mind - I was seeing another clownfish that clearly had ICH when I made my answer to @Lavey29. I agree that the pictures shown above look like brook. I have not seen it kill 'a fish every day' . In any case - what I was talking to Lacey about was this "If it looks like they are covered in powder dust it's brook." to me thats a description of velvet. The mucus/skin peeling is indeed consistent with broolynella. Again - I was thinking about a different thread. I am curious @Jay Hemdal - from a history standpoint, have you seen a tank with these types of fish that the OP mentioned dying 1 after another from brook? "2 clown, 1 Midas, 1 tang and 1 helfrichi died one after another". The clowns, yes. I'm just curious - how often brook wipes out a tank similar to velvet?

It wiped out mine in 48 hours like 5 fish. Which included clowns. Tang. Gramma, and firefish. Wrasses survived somehow.

Ive learned a lot reading here. They started from the head and spread to the body, not rapidly but within a day to couple days. At the time I didn’t think much of it until the first clown I’ve lost had white coated mucus peeling off. That’s when I noticed the other fish were having the same issue. They all start on the head, then body and color turns pale, eventually stops eating and stays in a spot. I’ll be more prepared next time on the treatment when I see these symptoms. I did a 3 min freshwater dip on the clown in the pic but it was way too late as it passed about an hour after the dip.

1.25ml of 3 Percent peroxide per cup of tank water for 30 min and then into quarantine may buy you some time.

If you have any fish left that is

Still have 2 wrasse and a diamond goby. Looking at them closely, no signs of symptoms. They’re swimming and eating as normal. Going to attempt to take them out. it’ll be tough as I have a lot of rocks. I’m trying to avoid tearing it down, there’s a bunch of corals on it but I may have to as a last resort. I’m afraid I may stress the corals out and another issue could happen.

Some fish seem to weather the brook disease better then others. My 2 wrasses never got symptoms or treatment.
