So I noticed this small grey patch appearing on it yesterday kinda breathing funny but he always acted like this wife found him stuck on Powerheadno pics sorry but he did have slightly rapid breathing still kinda ate but not like he use to any thoughts and how important is water change at the moment the fish is no longer in tank

How new/old is your tank? Tank size? Have you checked water parameters? Ammonia/nitrate/phosphate? How long have you had the clown? What other fish do you have in the tank?

You removed the clown. Now it's time to find some answers, so you can avoid fish loss in the future. You will definitely get help here.

Hi, more background information is needed, as well as perhaps a short video. I can see an issue in the picture of this "bruising" issue we are seeing in clownfish here. I've never had one show this myself, so I don't know the cause. I started a thread, but nobody else seems to know what this is either:

Clownfish bruising/lesion?

All, Over the past year or so, I've come across about 10 cases on the fish disease forum here of an issue with clownfish that I have not been able to identify. I've never seen it on any clownfish I've had myself, but the issue seems most common on designer clowns, which I don't work with...

Sorry to hear and just saw this. I dont believe this is anything to do with water quality however often a weakened fish from illness or aggression and sounds like it became moribund which is similar to a coma state and generally at this stage the fish declines until loss
