Diseased Clownfish - Help!

I have had my two clown fish for going on 2 years now and have never had a problem with them until just recently. Within the past week my juvenile emporator, and 3 heniochus butterfly fish died within days of each other. All of my corals are doing fine and all of my other fish have not been effected. But within the last day or so my 2 clown's health has been deteriorating. It almost looks like they have ICH but they aren't rubbing against anything and they seem to be doing fine other than it looks like they have "really dry skin". It appears like they have white flaky skin on them and I am not sure what this is. Any ideas?

I'm not good with pics; this is brooklynella or velvet. With your skin comments, I'm 95% sure its brooklynella, very deadly stuff. Formalin is the only drug that cures it and even formalin doesn't always work. Both velvet & brook require treatment of ALL fish in a HT/QT while the DT stays fishless for about 8 weeks.
