Hello everyone.

I have 2 clowns in my 125 gallon reef tank that I got as a pair. The female looks like she has some white spots and just kind of looks dirty. From what I researched I initially thought it was brooks but now I’m thinking velvet possibly? I first noticed the look probably last week on her but dismissed it because there was no odd behavior, she was till eating normal and I’m battling some uglies so I thought there was just gunk floating around that maybe got caught on her.
