I think its Lymphocyctis

I had posted under the New Hobbyists section regarding some white fungus like growths on my LR, but no one really had an answer. You can find that thread here:

Now for the past week, one of my clownfish has a white cotton like growth on its tail. It is on the very bottom edge of the tail. I think it might be Lymphocyctis. Any way to make sure? And is there anything I can do than just wait? It has gotten a little larger over the week.

what happened with your clown, did it eventually disappear? Ive read that it goes away by itself

The clown looks healthy but the growth has gotten bigger over the past week. It is still there.

Be certain that the water is prestine and feed high quality frozen formula foods dosed in vitamines and fresh garlic.

What you see in your tank is mostly sponges, etc., and nothing to concern yourself with. The fish situation sounds like it may be lymphocyctis. Check some of the example pictures in the Diseased Fish Thread to see if you can identify the problem. There is info on this condition in the FAQ Thread (both at the top of this forum).
