I see bacteria marks but also lesions which seem to impact over-bred and designer clowns mysteriously and seen on mainly white surfaces. I recently has a snowflake get a small patch of this and did respond to ruby rally pro but took nearly 3 weeks to clear. At times meds do not change the appearanceClownfish have developed pinkish/ white markings. What is this? How should I treat my fish? I do have a juvenile anemone in the tank, could that have caused this?

Agree with the Ruby Rally Pro - is there an anemone or other stinging coral in the tank - which might (but I doubt) may have caused the pink spots?. Ruby Reef Rally will help brook as well - and I was leaning more towards brooklynella - but the treatment is the same. Hope this helps

No as methylene blue is good for dips. Similar is general cure

Welcome to Reef2Reef!
Are the lesions raised up, or are they flish with the body? In the first photo they appear raised, but in later photos they seem flat. If they are pink and not raised up, you should consider this:
Clownfish bruising/lesion?
All, Over the past two years or so, I've come across dozens of cases on the fish disease forum here of an issue with clownfish that we have not been able to identify. I've never seen it on any clownfish I've had myself, but the issue seems most common on designer clowns, which I don't work...
