Wondering if I have a parasite, velvet, fluke or what? How should I treat?
Noticed my clown seems to be lying in his corner more this past week. He sleeps there every night but seems to be hanging out there and not as active as normal. Last night I noticed a spot on his side between second and third stripe. It is a white patch but also has little dark brown or reddish spot underneath or just in front of the white patch. To me is looks like the body is swollen in that area and kind of bumped up. He doesn't seem to be scratching and is still eating.
The hippo in the tank seems to chase him back into his corner at times, but I haven't seen him nip at him. The hippo has a white spot on his eye, but I've seen this before and just assumed it was salt or something. It always dissappeared after a day or so in the past. Diamond goby is fine. I also just notice that the royal gramma as a very light wihte patch on it side too and is starting to stratch against the rocks.
New additions to the tank: 3 weeks ago : (NOt QTd)
Bubble tip anemone ( the clown doesn't get near it)
nasarius snails,
1 week ago: turbo snails and red hermits (QT for 3 weeks)
Tried to get pictures, but most oare too fuzzy and closn always wants to show off his best side and won't let me get a picture.
Any help is most appreciated.
