I think I see Brook on my maroon clown. I'm going to do a FW dip in pH equaled water at same temp right now and see if it helps.

I'm wondering if I should also dip my ocellaris? Is it likely that the Brook would spread to them if they're still healthy?

I'm also going to get some formalin tomorrow and do another dip probably in SW.
 
in my research, i found out that formalin baths is very effective on brooklynella... but this is so hard on the fish so you need to be careful... i don't know the full details of it, but a quick google should show you a lot of read... again, you really need to be careful and read all you can about it before administering the treatment... miss one detail, and you will kill your fish...

you don't need to dip other clownfishes that does not show the signs of brooklynella... in my experience, as long as you keep good water parameters to keep the fishes comfortable, the healthy ones should be able to fend off the disease more often than not...
 
I would do formalin bathes for an hour every other day for three bathes and QT them. Yes, do all clowns that are in the same system.
