Brooklynella is so common in clownfish that some people call it the clownfish disease. It is best treated with formalin baths. Look in the FAQ sticky at the top of this forum for details on how to do this. Be careful with the medication as it is toxic.

is that a fungus on that fish?

 

[elfdoctors]

Fungal infections are rare in saltwater aquaria. The salt acts like a preservative and prevents most fungus from growing.
Brooklynella is a parasitic infection caused by Brooklynella hostilis.
