Can you please provide white light photos and a YouTube linked video? From what I've seen so far it might be from your clowns. Here is some additional information that can be helpful.

The lesions in the photo are all Lymphocystis. I can't see anything in the video - not close enough. However, that does NOT mean that the fish doesn't have the start of ich, but as it stands now, it is only showing Lymphocystis. Ich will look like little grains of salt on the body and fins (but not concentrated at the edges of the fins like this). These spots will come and go and generally increase in number over time. Lymphocystis will grow larger, and then gradually fade over 4 to 8 weeks.

when I look at it I’m thinking lymph but need you experts to help. Thank you

Its lympho and is a condition and not disease which is viral. Often its associated with water quality issue as simple as elevated ammonia or nitrate and can be that of water from LFS and not yours. Assure to provide Good water quality monitored by a reliable test kit and feed nutritious food with fats such as LRS fish or Herbivore frenzy, plankton, hikari angel formula and mysis shrimp.
