Disease or damage?

[voogi]

My clownfish and my damsel are fighting a lot, and I wonder if these spots on my clown is a disease or if it is just war injuries from battles with the damsel. Ideas? The spots are stand out about 1-2 mm from the body of the clown. Thanks

They are not from them fighting. The nip on his tail is though. Take a good look at these spots. Are they smooth and round or cottony looking? How long have they been there?

They are cottony looking. They started appearing about two weeks ago I would say.

That is lymphocystis which is a viral infection. Add vitamins to his food and keep the water quality pristine.
