Hi I bought a clownfish 2 to 3 days ago and noticed a very weird line across its fins. It was a faint line on day two but now it’s a weird line across both sides. I know for sure it’s not ich, velvet, brooklynella, uronema. I’ve never seen something like this on a fish. Could it be something genetic. He was eating yesterday small brine shrimp but today’s he seems lethargic. Hanging around the top of the tank. I tried to feed him some pellets doesn’t seem interested. could it also be an internal parasite?

Picture quality is good but my eyes suck. I sorta see a white line?
ya its just a random white vein like line on both sides of the fish. Its really weird I've seen all kinds of diseases on clownfish and this is a new one. The other frostbite clownfish seems like he is doing well and eating food. I contacted the fish store to see if they had a similar problem. I'm waiting for there responds maybe they can let me exchange but I highly unlikely they will. he is definitely lethargic and hanging out at the top of the tank not really a good sign. I can attach more photos if you'd like

I see what looks like slime/mucus buildup suggesting brooklynella disease but need clearer pics

That does look like it could be the start of Brooklynella to me.
