    I had set up a 46 gallon quarantine tank and had 2 tomato clowns in it for about 3 weeks. I also had a small fairy wraasse also.

    Water parameters are all stable, but yesterday one clown developed a white like coating and was floating at the top of the water. Within an hour he died

    I removed him from the tank but now what to do with the other clown and wrasse?

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Sounds like Brookynella and it kills very quickly, much more aggressive than Marine Ich.

    Treatments consist of copper or formalin with an antibiotic for secondary bacterial infections.

    Boost up the diet as much as you can right now and as quickly as you can with some garlic and or selcon or equiv.

    Good luck.

    Yes, treat them asap. since they are in a quarantine you have the perfect opportunity to safely use copper
