Clownfish damage - thoughts pls (photo inc.)

[JamesTBC]

Hi,

Please see attached photos (sorry for the poor quality). From what you can make out would anyone be concerned by this white-ish mark that my clownfish has - it could simply be damaged, but I am concerned that it could be a fungus or something else unpleasant. None of the other fish have this mark and the clown has had it for several weeks now.

Please let me know your thoughts.

not sure, but I'd probably do a 30 min Formalin dip

I could be wrong, but it probably wouldn't hurt

My clown has a spot like that on her tail, that has always been there. when she was young we tried to "cure" it but it was just her color.

If that is a new spot, and you are worried about any kind of parasite or fungus, then do a Formaline dip. I dip with fresh water and formaline for upto 8min. make shure the temp and PH and the same. every minute or so use your hand to swirl the water around the fish.

Thats how I was told to do it by a pretty experianced guy , and my fish did fine. please research on your own though im no expert.
