White Film Covering Clown?

[Rip3618]

Today I noticed a white-ish / transparent film covering my little clown.  I think he’s stressed but thought I’d reach out to the forum.

 

A little background info; My 20 gal peninsula has been going for about three months.  I got my clown about two months ago and he seems to be doing. He’s eating, swims and seems to be happy.    

 

Yesterday I did a water change after cleaning my tank with Chemiclean for 48 hours (I had a minor algae problem).  This afternoon was when I noticed the white film.  It appears like it’s covering his eyes, poor guy. 

 

I have a simple test kit and my pH, ammonia, nitrites and nitrates are all good. 

 

Any idea what he’s dealing with or is it likely stress? Is there anything else I should be testing or treat?  Thanks.

Looks like brooklynella.

After cleaning your tank, was there a lot of debris in the water which might now be stuck to his mucous coat??

 

However, if it persists then it could be brook: https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/402151-brooklynella-fish-disease-information/

The same thing happened to one of my clowns after a water change once. I think it was due to stress. It ended up going away in about 24 hours and he’s been fine ever since. Hopefully that’s all it is with yours.
