    +1. That's what it sounds like to me too, but without pics it's hard to tell for sure. Way back when I first started with SW, I lost 2 clowns to this. Sorry, but without some kind of treatment, I don't think they will survive.

    Sprinkle garlic on them and hope for the best?

    Sorry for that, I had to. I would say, if you think it looks like Brooklynella, QT them and treat with Formalin. It's not velvet, or most of your fish would be dead. From the description, it doesn't sound like ich, either. EVERY serious reefer should have a QT/HT.
