Clownfish with black and blues

Hello,

I just acquired a pair of Bali Picasso and I have had them in QT for about two weeks. I have noticed one of the fish has developed some black and blues(scales slightly raised below area) on it. Does not appear to be ich or black ich.

I have treated the fish prophylactically for 7 days with prazipro for possible flukes. I have also completed a 5 day course of Maracyn and Maracyn 2.

The fish is eating. However the spots seem to be getting worse. The appears distressed and likes to swim near surface and hang out in corner but is not breathing fast. Unsure if i need to treat the fish with anything or just observe. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (The other fish is fine)

My parameters are fine

PH 8.1
Salinity 1.022
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 5

Whatever it is it has spread to the other fish. Unsure what i should treat with at this point.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Ich doesn't look like this. The patches look more like Brooklynella or possibly even Uronema.
Treatment would be formalin baths followed by tank transfers. You might also want to treat the fish with antibiotics to fight possible secondary infections.
