    Damn right

    Well if its appeared so quickly its def not marine velvet - and it looks far too dense to be ich, so im sticking with brookynella.
    You need to act quickly as previously said. saying that tho - i know this sounds cruel, but given the diesease is such a rapid killer, it might be worth tossing the clown, as they are easily replaced.

    Do you have any coral or inverts in your tank? May be worth just treating everything in your tank all at once if you don't have anything other than fish in there.

    When I see spots I remove the fish and do a copper dip 1st week 10min 2nd week 15min 3rd week 20min it always works for me. and its good for a wide spred or problims. I use a product callded copper power.

    oh dear, sorry for that buddy - i guess it kinda confirms it was brookynella. Keep a eye out and see if it appears on anything else!
