Hi,
I'm new here and also to saltwater fishkeeping. About a week and a half ago I got a pair of ocellaris clownfish. They are both very active, only I noticed a few days ago that one of the fish has a strange bump right in front of his anal fin. It started off white, but now it's turned into a brown color. And every now and then I see a white string hanging off of him from the anus. Not sure if this is a fungus, parasite, or a scab. When I first introduced him into the tank he was laying on some of the rocks, but I haven't noticed any strange behavior. He eats fine and moves around a lot.
Here are some pics:
No idea what's going on. I searched online for some info but I can't seem to find much. Any ideas? Anything would help at this point. Thanks very much!
