lymphocystis

[Broog]

After surfing the net, appears my Clownfish that were introduced about a week and half ago have lymphocystis, Raised white bumps, One has it on its mouth. No other signs of stress and still both eating very well. From what I have read, should/have to let it runs its course??

If it is Lymphocystis, it is a virus with no known cure. Many times it disappears on its own. Most people just try to optimize water quality, diet, and add some food supplements like Vita-Chem, Selcon, garlic extract, or beta glucan and hope for the best.

During the reading , it kept saying this is the most common freshwater/saltwater disease. is that true?

 

[Steven Pro]

Not in my experience. Cryptocaryon is far more common.

 

[Broog]

Sorry, its the most common Viral infection

 

[Steven Pro]

I would agree with that statement. I can't recall another viral infection for fishes, so that seems likely.

It will heal in time, but may take away. As someone said, its like a common cold.
