Problem with clown's mouth

My Ocellaris clown has a little piece of skin hanging on above the mouth area. (looks like a piece of skin) Sorry I don't have any pictures. She is swimming and eating fine. It started out as a small spot and has grown a little larger. She looks good except for the little thing on her mouth. I looked in the disease section and could not find anything like it. Any ideas without having a picture??

I am not totally sure, but maybe I can help you figure out what is causing it.
What other fish do you have in the tank?
What are you feeding the fish?
What are your water levels (ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, pH, kH, salinity, and temp)?

Other fish are: another Ocellaris, Bicolor Blenny and Valentini Puffer (very small) They are housed in a 24 gal nano. I feed mysis shimp, Formula One flake and pellet. The temp runs 78 - 80. Yesterday I check the salinity and it is 1.022. I try to keep it at 1.025. I started to bring the salinity up slowly yesterday. Two weeks ago I changed tanks from a 24 gal AquaPod to the JBJ 24 gal qube. I transfered most of the water from the old tank to the new one. I noticed the spot the first of the week. This tank is at my office so I don't have any test results. I will bring my test kit Monday. I did run by my office to snap a couple of pictures...

When did this start? You sure its not a fluke? Use a magnifying glass to get a good look at it.

Note the shape of the spot when you get another look at it with the mag glass.
