Velvet or Ich?

I got these 2 tank raised clowns about a week ago and their showing signs of sickness. They are still eating but not swimming as actively, they just tend to hang out near this rock cave. The first couple of days they were acting normal until about 2 days ago. Their tank mate is a firefish that looks healthy. I've had it since the start of the in December.

The firefish with no symptoms.

I've noticed that the clowns scratch themselves on the sand and breath fast.

If its velevet they will be dead rather fast. I would remove the fish to a treatment tank and use Cupramine for 4 weeks. You have to treat all the fish in your main tank and leave it fallow for 12 weeks.

I will go get some cupramine soon. Do you know what disease it is?

Could it be brooklynellosis?
