ID please!

My pair of clownfish both have the color rubbed off their mouths. I suspect this is due to rubbing on the rock as they are hosting in my anemone and a little OCD. All other inhabitants are unaffected. Is this disease or affects of pre-spawning behavior?

Are they flashing against the rocks? That wouldn't be a great sign. If they aren't flashing maybe they lip locked? If they both have it in the same spot that would be my guess.

If flashing is wiggling against the rock, then yes they are doing that.

The clowns don't have any other illness indicators - no spots or injuries. They are good eaters and their mouths are NOT stuck open. There is no labored breathing. And they wiggle at each other, in their Condy, and on the rock right next to the anemone. Need guidance.

Oh and the white just looks like color fading around their mouths. It doesn't look slimed, dusty/powdery, fuzzy or bumpy.

 

[heather1056]

Still need help.
