I got two clownfish for my son last week and they have been in qt but there is what looks like fungus on its mouth and a patch on its side. Can you guys provide some insight and what medication would be the best? I have been using paraguard, but it seems to be getting worse.
There are two clownfish in the tank. The bigger one has the problems, does not eat and the smaller one seems fine and eats. Below are some pictures. Any advice or direction is appreciated. Thank you

No. The color is not too bad and the slime coat looks fine. 20210308_204313.jpg

They are both still alive and the smaller one seems okay.

It looks kind of similar to what happened to my clown. Treating it with Kanaplex and Metroplex seemed to help. Unfortunately I started treatment too late and lost him, but yours is less severe so you may still be able to save it.
