clown fish with pimple

[fredflinstone]

Hi,

I got this clown fish with something like a white pimple on his face. It looks buffed up a little. Can someon suggest what this is and how this can be treated.

Please refer to the pic in my gallery. It would be named clown-disease.

Thanks a lot.

Anyone who can help me with what this is please?

I would leave it be for now...May be Lymphocystis, a viral disease..lymph has no cure, but is not fatal. Will clear up with good water conditions

Are there any threads on lymphocytis?

Thanks.

R u sure this could be that disease or its just an assumption?

From what I can see on the picture, that is what it apears to be. If you want , post more photos. Its hard to be 100% sure from one photo.
Its best you gather the info, read, look at pictures and decide yourself. You can get a much better look at your fish..here are a few photos of different diseases

Will the use of UV Steriliser reduce the chances of viral, fungal and ich occurance?
