What could be wrong with my clown?

[kaborkowski]

No other fish affected, water testing just fine. 1 clown has some discoloration on body and fins. Seems to be swimming more towards the top of the tank, breathing faster than normal it seems

I have moved her to quarantine also. No major changes to tank. Added 2 new coral frags yesterday and changed some filter pads

Images are lacking light but appears to be Brooklynella. The discoloration is Mucus which generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus.
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.
If a formalin solution is not available for immediate use, temporary relief can be achieved by giving the fish a FW bath or dip in water same temperature as display tank. Even though this treatment will not cure the disease, it can help to remove some of the parasites, as well as reduce the amount of mucus in the gills to assist with respiration problems.
Treatment is best done in a QT tank using either quick cure (more effective) or Ruby Rally Pro. Ruby takes a little longer and initial treatment generally takes 2-3 days to really start going to work.

One issue - is everytime a clown is sick - the first thought is brooklynella. Your picture (to me) - does not show anything concerning to me - So - I agree with @vetteguy53081 it could be brooklynella. I might just observe - with a careful eye - i.e. clowns in a new tank act weird, etc. IF there is clear overproduction of mucus, etc - even the hint of it - I would treat for brooklyella. I would also calculate the respiratory rate - and we IMHO need more information? When did you get it, was it QT'd, etc etc. There is a link in my signature for some of the questions to answer.

Thank you for the info! By chance, would prazipro work? I have that on hand

I’ve had this clown for a year in the same tank, at least 6-7 months with any other fish that’s in there. Only change was the couple coral frags I added yesterday.

It also did not eat today when I fed the tank.
