I have two Percula clowns, one of them has what looks like a blister on it's top lip. Anyone have any ideas what it might be?
Thanks,
Carl

Oral herpes. HAHAHA! give em condoms and he should be good to go!

Seriously, I don't have a clue, but a picture would probably help those who would actually know.

Yeah, a pic would help. I would keep researching, but my maroon get something like what you described every once in a while and then its gone in like a day. Ive read it could have to do with stress. Any changes, new tank mates?
 
if the blister is white and looks like fuzz then its most likely a mouth fungus. one of my percs had this about a month ago and it ate a hole in his head (chin) then my other perc got a white spot in the smae spot so i used primafix for fungas for 7 days and it went away. hope this helps

Thanks for your inputs,
It isn't like a white fuzzy ball or anything, it's 100% clear like a layer of it's skin peeled up or just like a blister. very small, top lip. It seems to be going away (although still noticable) I would take a pic but my camera is on the blink and I don't know if cell phone pics would be clear enough. One thing I did do, I was feeding some frozen food and a good sized chunk (half the size of your small finger nail) fell into the tank. I think this is the one that grabbed it and took off. Now I'm wondering if maybe the cold maybe blistered its lip? Just trying to figure out all angles.
Thanks
Carl
