I just happened to look over and notice that one of my clowns was just sitting the corner of the tank and the other one (male) was swimming around it...when I moved closer to the tank...she didnt move, when I tapped the glass, she jumped up and starting swimming to the top like it was time to eat...I started looking really close, I even went and got my glasses and noticed what seems to be like white dust (the best way I can describe it) on her back...I dont know how long its been like that, I dont always have my glasses on...but she ate and seemed fine, but then went right back to what seems like sitting on the bottom of the tank...

What do I do?:shout:
 
The only thing I have right now is some grazing food that has garlic in it that I bought when I thought I was going to have a tang in this tank....little did I know!

I will try it thanks...and I will work on getting some pics...
 
Here is a pic...looking at this picture makes me feel so bad...I dont wear my glasses most of the time...I hope she's ok...should I take them up to Fishscales tomorrow until I figure out what is going on with the tank?

Or does it look like little individual dots.[/QUOTE]

It just looks like little dots...I checked those photos and it doesnt seem to look that severe...
 
What other fish do you have? What corals? You could treat and hypo the tank if you have no coral and remove your cleanup crew. The fish has ich
 
It's Brooklynella.

Quarantine tank and treat with formalin per package directions.

NEVER treat the main display with formalin.

IME this is the best/only way to get rid of it.
