Hey there so recently I have been noticing my clowns looking a little odd , they're doing okay and swimming around , I have been battling some sort of intestinal worm for a month now . The 2 clowns are still in my DT and have been , they're still somewhat eating . I been using garlic and vita Chem and also metro and a binder . I've been noticing them look weird idk if it's possible ich or brooklynella but I get paranoid and bothers me until I know what's going on!!!! I'm gonna attach some pictures to see if any one has any suggestions what's going on. Thanks!

It seems brook. Are they letargic or have white strip when they poo? If they do thats brook and you have treat them asap. With formaline
White strip when they poop yes . Lethargic not really. They are eating up until this point . Formal one in a QT?

Any chance we can get this moved into the fish disease section?

I would definitely get a QT set up and get them in it ASAP.

Unfortunately, I'm not comfortable making a recommendation on the course of treatment. My first thought would be copper if you have it available but would recommend waiting for either Melyper or Humblefish to weigh in.

I'll go ahead and make the call. that's Brooke. Get them out and treat asap. Treat all fish in the tank since they are all carriers. Definitely read that thread. I would use Acryflavin and Metroplex though to treat. formalin can be very harsh on the fish.
How long does Brooke take to kill a fish? This has been going on for over a week now ..

Luckily those are only 2 clowns in there.

Glad to help. It amazes me how people like @rgaleana2009 or @melypr1985 can identify this stuff from these pictures. Just glad some people have that gift! All I saw were fish with spots! o_O
Unfortunately, I don't know how much time your fish have. That really depends on a lot of factors including how healthy they were when the symptoms started to show.
