What disease is hitting my tank

[bmbpka]

So I have been very fortunate to not experience fish disease in my long history of fresh fish keeping or my short history of reef keeping. I’ve also been fortunate to have not lost many fish along the way.

well it finally caught up. Over the last month or so I noticed my Kole Tang was looking very pale. Still eating and acting his normal self. Then yesterday I found him dead in the corner.

now I’m noticing my clownfish have these spot and what looks like a cloudy substance on them. Guessing either ich or brook? Ive Looked at a lot of photos and I see traits of both diseases. So I’m asking for help.

Looks like velvet.

Looks like velvet.

it does based on the velvet article on here! Only difference, the clowns aren’t showing any of the behavior signs listed.

Early Brook and velvet are very similar in presentation. Can cover both by giving the fish a bath in Ruby Reef Rally and then using copper and metro in a QT. Both can kill quickly.

I agree with @Hemmdog velvet. Need to act fast, those clowns have 48 hours at best.
Freshwater dip can help prolong it and relieve them of symptoms. But move all fish over to copper quarantine immediately.
