the pic is fuzzy, but it's the best i can get. this discoloration showed up on my maroon last week. i have the clownfish book by
Joyce D. Wilkerson. the closest thing i could come to is Clownfish Disease, Brooklynellosis? but any pics i found of sick clowns with that disease.......well they looked A LOT worse.

here are some symptoms i have found:
Increased mucus production

• Loss of appetite

• Turbidity of the skin

• String-like material hanging from the fish

• Increased respiration, or even open-mouth gasping

• Hyperactivity in early stages

• Hiding or reclusiveness

• Cloudy eyes associated with secondary bacterial infections

• Faded colors or discolored areas

• Lethargic in late stages

• Hanging at the surface or laying on the bottom in late stages of infection

• Rapid weight loss associated with dehydration, as fish lose their ability

to osmoregulate.

• Loose scales

• Secondary bacterial infections

she does not have any of theses. like i said i noticed this early in the week.

you can't see it in the pic but the discolored part looks sort of like a scab? somebody HELP!!
