Latest on Maroon Clown

I got home this afternoon and his fin on that side was all messed up and his eye was clowdy, white on his body too... he was swimming slowly on the top... maybe his fin got chewed by a crab?
This morning i turned on the light for the tank and there was a ton of little worms swimming all over the tank.. they were under a 1/4 inch long and pretty clear in color. they seemed to spin as they swam. all ducked for cover when light came on... what the heck are these guys?

sorry to hear your fish isn't doing well. I was hoping it was nothing. Not too sure about the worms. I know when the lights go out, so do strange and unusual things. I doubt they are the cause of your problem. Sad though about your maroon, they are absolutely gorgeous. I hope you are going to hospitalize him and at least give it a try.

The clown didn't make it... I brought him to the lfs and he says it was clowndisease... we opened up his side and didn't find any parasites... I'm bummed...

I know that CF disease wouldnt cause the bump but we opened him up and there wasn't any worm or parasite or anything inside him... I don't what else to think...
