What is up with this guy?

[GassyMon]

First what is the white stuff on his tail and what are the little brown spots? Should I get rid of him?

 

[lilduud]

my only guess would be some sort of fungus but ive never seen that personally

 

[pimpdadydan]

its a type of velvet and needs to be treated with copper base meds just wach out cuz copper base can kill your coral

I looks like something stung him. I see lots of ocellaris and perc clowns that get those black spots.

my clowns constantly have brown spots from rubbin on stuff.

Could be a fungus, could be marine velvet. I would recommend catching and quarantining the fish and treating it.

 

[GassyMon]

Should I treat the fish to be safe or do you thing they will be fine? what does the Fungus do to the tank?

Is the fish eating?If so then don't get rid of it.

The tail could be fin rot.The brown spots look like hyper-melanization(scar tissue from being stung by a coral or anemone).
