If you look at the tail that doesn't look to good either

can't say with certainty but it looks like a bacterial thing. fin rot.

What's the best thing to do

Oh boy that’s a serious infection you have there... could be ich but most likely just fungal.

Definitely get him into a QT and start treatment with an anti bacterial or fungal program.

What could be the cause of this

JUNBUG361 · 02/16/2018, 03:30 PM

can you provide more info about your tank?

Could be brook. Clownfish are famous for that.

That looks like Brook to me. Treat with anti-protozoans ASAP! Formalin solution!

Can i treat in the main tank or will I need a quarantine? My tank parameters are ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 5 that s all i can test for at the moment. Will "brook" spread to my other fish?
