How do you Cure a VELVET DISEASE?

[viziouskat]

Hello, I have a Clarkii Clown that I bought last Saturday. The fish was doing fine and eating alot. Last night when I got home I notice that he has like Velvet on one side of its body. When it was time to feed feed the fishes I notice that he didn't eat as much as before. Today this morning it looks like it has spread but its barely noticesable but its there. What should I do??? Please HELP :help:
Should I conduct a FRESH WATER BATH???
I also did a 15% water change on Tuesday. I check my water quality and its fine.
PH - 8.3
Nitrite - 0
Nitrate - 0
Ammonia - 0
SG - 1.022 - 1.023
I have a fish only aquarium, with Crush Coral.

Marine Velvet can be one of the most quickly spreading infections in a marine aquarium. If a fish is still alive the next morning, it may not even be marine velvet.
I suspect that your fish actually has Brooklynella. Check out the diseased fish sticky at the top of this forum for a few pictures. This is very common in clownfish. The usual treatment is formalin baths.
