Bacterial issue and possible swim bladder disorder?

Hi all. For the last couple days, my clownfish has been not moving or eating much. He had a fuzzy growth on his chin. I moved him to a QT tank with some Furan 2 and now he is doing somersaults in the water. Attached are two videos, one with the fuzz on the chin and one of the somersaults. Please let me know if there is anything I can do. Thank you!!

Fuzz on chin:

Summersaults in water:
 
Swirling like that is a really bad sign. He also looks a little thin.

Have you ever seen stringy white feces come out of this fish??
 
Internal flagellates or worms: https://humble.fish/internal-issues/

Sometimes flagellates migrate away from the intestines to sensory pores, spinal column, etc. Either scenario would explain the whirling behavior and unfortunately, the fish will not recover. :(
Thank you! Unfortunately he didn't make it, and I just noticed some white spots appearing on my other clown. I've counted about 6. Any idea if they are related? Thank you!
