What is this infection?

Please note: I purchased two of them 2-3 days ago & they are "wild" caught. I made the mistake of dropping them into my tank after 20-30 minutes of temperature acclimation (leaving bag floating) & understand what I did wrong. However, they are like this now? What is it and what do I need to do?

I think it's fine. Do you mean a little white spot on it?

I would put all wild caught clownfish in hospital tank and treat for Brookynella.

are they newly transported?? if the answer is yes they will be ok with some reall good flake food.

The white fluffy bits is a viral infection Lymphocystis, clears on it's own.

The white stringy poop could be worms tho, that'd need treating.

medicated flakefood sorry i left that out.

Is that long white string coming from the fish? If so it needs to be treated ASAP for Internal Parasites. I would just use Prazi Pro in your display tank. Just follow the directions exactly.

I came home today @ 9ish pm and found the big oscellaris dead. Should I worry about the infection spreading to the smaller one? They are wild and I think they were newly transported. The two oscellaris wasn't even in the lfs's display tanks yet...still in there shipping box.
