Is this velvet, please help.

I’ve attached some photos of my clown, is this velvet? He is eating, very well. My other clown looks ok as well as my other two tangs. I’ve been battling this algae for awhile now, this is the last thing I need.

Yeah, im pretty sure that’s velvet. I would put it in some copper as soon as you can.

With absence of does on all the fins, appears to be secondary bacteria associated with brro but from behavior you describe, you can treat fish in tank with ruy rally pro or more effectively in separate treatment tank with seachem neoplex. Before doing this, please provide closer pics under bright white light.
Regarding hair algae, pull off as much as you can by hand and scrub the rest with a firm toothbrush and some 3% hydrogen peroxide.
Return to tank, reduce white light intensity and number of hours of white lighting and add some snails such as :
Astrea
cerith
turbo grazer
trochus

A Pencil urchin

8-10 Caribbean blue leg hermits

Are you using RODI water or tap water from the faucet ?
What is your phosphate level?
Is tank at or near a window?

Most of the pictures aren’t quite clear enough, but in the second to last one I can see distinct white spots. Those are too large to be velvet, and velvet causes rapid breathing and the fish not eating.

Do you see ANY white spots on any other fish? This looks like marine ich to me.

No just this guy, it’s hard to get good pics. He looks much better today, but I’m still gonna pull him and treat in copper.

Nvm, I have no idea what that is

I’m gonna say you may have a brooklynella or velvet outbreak. As to it being on the clownfish, I’m leaning more towards brook.

That’s most likely marine ich. A slight possibility that this is Brooklynella. It is not velvet. A video would help with the diagnosis.
