White spots on clown… ich?

[bennyb]

Hey all,

The last few days my clown started acting weird, staying low to the sand and flicking some up with his tail. He’s also contracted this white dust/spots on him. Looks like ich from what I’ve researched but I’ve never personally dealt with it. I’d love some help ID-ing the issue. Btw, the white looks much more pronounced in the photos because the way the camera reacts to the blue light…

If it is ich, please give some advice as to what I should do. Thanks!

While I suspect possible brooklynella, please provide pics under white light intensity for best assessment

I agree, looks like it could be Brooklynella. A video taken under white lights would really help with the diagnosis. You'll need to react really quickly to this in order to save the fish though.....
