White slimy appearing spot on clownfish

[Stingray122]

Hi, I noticed that one of my clownfish has a white area that appears to be kind of mucous-like in appearance. Is this something to be concerned about? I noticed it about a week or two ago, and it doesn't seem to be getting better, maybe a little worse. Could it be an injury? She seems to like to slam against the glass. I have attached some photos. All of my fish were quarantined using tank transfer method years ago. They recently got moved to a new tank that is about 2.5 months old after I completed a move across the country. The white spots are bubbles on the glass as I recently did a water change, I am referring to the discoloration near the eye. Thanks for your help.

A thick mucus beginning at the face suggests the start of brook. I ALSO NOTICE the size of its belly. . . Is fish eating?
Is it breathing normal or labored?
Any change in color or faded ?

Fish eats normally, what do you mean by size? Larger than normal or small? I feed pellets like every other day along, mixing in some frozen every once and awhile. Breathing is normal and behavior is also normal. I have not noticed any faded color.

Belly looks good and round.
As for mucus- you can give the fish a 5 minute freshwater dip the same temperature as display tank and keep an aye on it. If mucus returns, either ruby Rally pro treatment or other will be needed.
