Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve got 3 lovely clowns which Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve had for 7 years male, female and one thatââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s stayed juvenile. The other day I noticed that the female had what looked like white streaks on her face only. I also noticed her mouth is swollen and her skin round her face looks wrinkled like how your fingers look if youââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢d had them in water to long. She is still eating and Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve been treating the tank was Octzine as itââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢s always cured my tank problems in the past. The male has now got white spots (it not like white spot the disease) around its head and its mouth is starting to look swollen. I added a bush coral about 3 weeks ago and notice the clown likes to mouth it a lot, do they sting fish? Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢m really at a loss on what to do next so any help is welcome. Does anyone got links to fish illness?

If you put a new coral near an anemone that the clownfish host in then the coral may be a threat to the anemone. I suggest moving the coral to the other side of the tank. Yes, clownfish can be stung by corals. This often results in color changes in the clowns. Make a LARGE water change using well aged and aerated saltwater and get the coral away from the fish.

Have you added any new fish in the past month? Do you quarantine all new fish for 3+ weeks BEFORE putting them into the display tank? What is in Octzine? I would never add any medication to a reef tank. Do you know what brooklynella is?
