How long have you had this clown? If he's relatively new, I would say it's probably Brooklynella. But if you've had him awhile, I would lean more towards it being a bacterial infection.

Getting worse

He is around 3 weeks in this tank but had him in another tank for around 2 months. This is an updated pic taken .. It's getting worse ... Thanks @Humblefish please have a look at latest pic.

I would QT, and treat with antibiotics (i.e. Furan-2, Erythromycin, or any broad spectrum antibiotic).

IF this fish has Brook, you will see patches like this show up on other parts of the body. For that, you will need to administer formalin dips. Personally, I would administer formalin dips regardless (just to be safe). The antibiotic treatment is a good idea either way as well, to guard against a secondary infection.
