fuzzy cotton patches

[localfreak]

Sorry to post this but I am unable to view this thread in the FAQ. Two TR clowns that I've had for a week. I'm at the office where the tank is and do not have my handy book that tells me diseases. One clown has the fuzzy cotton like growths. Please help as to what it is and how to treat.
Thanks in advance.

Not enough info for us to help you. You have to post a photo of what it is you're looking at or start to do your own diagnosis.

Could it be Lymphocystis
No known cure if it is Lymphocystis, but Iââ"šÂ¬Ã¢"žÂ¢ve known the Neon Blue Goby (Elacatinus oceanops) to actually eat it off of some fishes. Remove as much stress from the fish as you can and be sure to be feeding it properly. See this post on nutrition:
