OK, I think my clownfish has Brooklynella..

I was wondering what may have caused this? Does anyone have any success stories with this disease?(as in had it, but cured it). or are they normally fatalities?
Anything more I can do other than the dipping in Formalin?

Formalin baths are the way to treat for brook. It can be sucessfully treated, did you just notice it? Are you familiar with Beth's procedure for it? Do it her way, not the way it says on the bottle.

Yeah, I looked at all the disease info b/c I realized that there was something odd about my clown. I'll make sure to follow her instructions, sounds like she knows a lot.
