What disease does my clown fish have?

[Lynnds6]

I have had this clown (and another) in the tank for almost a year with no problems. Only new thing was adding a 6 line wrasse who looked (and still looks healthy) within the last month. I have lots of corals (mostly LPS with a few monti) in the tank. I can't seem to get the clown out without completely breaking down the tank (which I'm not prepared to do/move everything). Is there anything I can do to treat him in my reef tank that is safe for everything in it? Thank you for your help!

Looks like brook to me and fairly far along.

Best option is Ruby Reef Rally, but I would go with whatever you can get your hands on quickly.

Edit: Ruby Reef Rally says it is reef safe, but I wouldn't use it in my display tank. It would be best to remove all the fish and treat them in a separate tank.

Also, this one probably needs eyes from the #reefsquad

I've moved this thread to the disease forum to get more eyes on it. But I have to agree with the above it looks like Brook to me

When fish has a disease they can sometimes react to light. I have some times wait 1 to two 2 hours after the light is out. I use a flashlight and light up the area where the fish normally sleep. Some times they freeze - easy to catch, sometimes they swim up to the light - easy to catch. Give it a try.

Thank you for your help. I view my tank daily (wipe sides, feed fish, ect). I noticed it yesterday with a few specks and today it literally exploded in appearance to this.
Is there anything I can do for him? Will it affect my other fish?

Brook can move quickly, so I'm not surprised that you first noticed it yesterday. A freshwater dip for 5 minutes may help immediately, but you'll need to get the fish out to do that and I'd follow it up with either the formalin bath or the reef rally I mentioned in the previous post. All fish need to be treated even if they don't show symptoms. I know it's a pain to get fish out and moved into quarantine, but it's really the best solution.
