Please help me identify what's going on with my fish

Hello everyone, ç

Please help me identify what's wrong with my clown fish, last week I had one day of high ammonia that got corrected with 80% water change, cleaning the sponge of my filter (which was full of crap) and adding Seachem Purigen, now I've been dosing Seachem Pureguard in case it's a parasite or fungus. Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

The big pieces look like lymphocystis - more information would help

Tank looks awfully new and appears to be fungal/bacterial.
Are you using tap water from faucet or RODI water?
Additionally what is your method of filtration?
Fish will likely require treatment in a separate tank using Seachem Neoplex which treats both fungal and bacterial issues
