Sicky clown?

[Meffnet]

My saddleback is not acting right - day before yesterday, it started hiding, but was still acting normal other than that, now it's staying in a corner, and I noticed today it's tail is turning white, almost clear???? It's the same on both sides... HELP

 

[Meffnet]

Never mind he didn't make it :-(

sorry for your lost, it could have been skin disease that was eating away at his tail.

Did this fish have any peeling or sloughing skin. If this fish wasn't in a QT; I'd do everything possible to find the cause.

No it didn't. Just labored breathing. I think it may have been "clown disease"? Not sure... Other fish including clowns are all doing well???

Clownfish disease is brooklynella, peeling, sloughing skin is the main symptom. I'd sure watch closely and don't add any new fish for at least 6 weeks or so.
