White fur on clown

[joejoe]

I have had 2 clowns in my tank for a week and a half and they seemed to be fine up until yesterday. One clown is acting normal, but the other seems to be dragging. I was inspecting her closely today and I saw some white blotches on her top fin and on her nose. Is a freshwater bath an order for this?? Help!!

check out the disease forum....

It could also be lymphocystis. Clowns seem to be particularly susceptible at least from reading the disease forum. One of my clowns had this. Lowering the salinity in the QT seemed to take a lot of stress off the clown & after a week and a half and now it is almost completely gone :jumping: Do a forum search for lymph and you will find a lot posted.
