Cotton wool growth on Clowny

Hi all,

A strange cotton wool type growth has recently appeared on my Female Black & White Ocellaris (just before her Caudal fin). :sad2: I havent seen any aggression with the other fish in the tank, everyone plays nice. Although a week ago she did have a torn Pectoral Fin which has cleared up nicely, not sure if that's related or not.

I did have a problem with ICH a month back and recently (a week or so ago) finished 2 courses of Polyp Lab MEDIC (and yes it worked for me, but that's for another thread I guess). Not sure if the MEDIC treatment would have anything to do with it, but again thought I'd mention it.

Water parameters are all ok:
Salt 1.024
KH 10.47
Ca 380
Mg 1360
Phosphorus 30ppb
NO3 0

Only filtration i run is Rowaphos GFO and NP Biopellets (with skimmer off course)

Any ideas what this might be? Sorry I couldn't get her to face the other way for the photo, guess she's self conscious about it, hope you can make it out with this pic. Thanks for your assist guys.:idea:

from what you describe it could be some sort of fungal infection, those are typically like you described and can also be brown in color. No real treatment for it if thats what it is. The ich you "had" I would imagine is still there since I have never heard of MEDIC and that is definitely not a proven method for ich
