Clown (w) white spot

[xenia]

Hi All,
I have a Clown with one white spot on the body. It is about the size of a dot. He is not eating. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Xenia

It could just be a solidary worm. Feed the fish garlic soaked food and keep a close eye on fish and tank. Look for fish scratching on rocks or rapid jerky movements.

Beth,
Is that Garlic from the grocery store or is it fish specific?

I just recently bought him. At first I thought it was a scale sticking up, but looking at it, seem to be something else. Without him eating, I don't know how to get the garlic soaked food in him. I am hoping he eats tomorrow. Otherwise he acts normal. No scrapping or staying in the current.
Thanks,
Xenia

If you can get live brine shrimp, add mashed garlic to their water and they will absorb it and your clown will almost certainly go after live brine even if he's off his regular food.

The White Spot fell off today when I caught him. He still is eating very little, but I am hoping that will change tomorrow. He wouldn't eat the live Brine soaked in garlic, but I am sure some got on his skin. Anyhow, I am hoping for the best.
Thanks for the replys!
