Feeding clown w. Lymphocystis on jaw

[sl-atl]

We have a new a. occellaris that has developed Lymphocystis on her lower jaw. She seems to want to actively eat, but rejects 90% of the food she swims up to- no doubt due to the growth. (Previously, she was eating aggressively.) I am feeding her small pellets that I partially crush and pre-soak. Anyone have a suggestion as to what to else to try to feed her? I'm concerned she'll starve before the Lymphocystis subsides.

try feeding garlic this will help with her Lymphocystis and garlic has a sent that attracts fish. My fish LOVE it. I feed it once a week to maintain health.

I use pure garlic from the grocery store. I cut a small portion of it up and smash it and add to frozen food. I bet that he will eat now!!

Thanks!

I picked up some frozen Mysis and she is eating it! Much less picky, but still is acting a little weird about putting things in her mouth. (Must be something about the feel of the processed foods, even when soggy.) Next step, the produce aisle for some garlic!

If anything changes I'll repost...
