Maroon Clowns pics : Ich or something else?

[beertech]

Hi guys,
I need help diagnosing this, so I can treat accordingly.
I have a mated and spawning pair of Gold Stripe Maroons.
They have been fine until this morning, I noticed they have developed white, fuzzy areas around the mouth and edges of fins. Its not a fine powdery area of specks like Ich. It appears that the edges of the fins are fuzzy and "peeling".

Sorry for the crappy pic. The spots are large and irregular, so I'm starting to think maybe lympho?
Any opinions?

Can't really tell from the picture. How long have you had the fish, and were they quarantined? Anything else added to the tank recently?

Had them 3 years, they have been healthy and spawning recently. Only added frags and live rock, so its quite probable something came with those...
I'm thinking its lympho, so I'm going to try to observe and maintain good nutrition. Unless things get worse, then I'll have no choice but to catch them and treat them in my hospital tank. That's not going to be a great option though...

Maybe a bacterial Infection?

This is strange, I noticed the blemishes and took the pic this morning. Now, about 4 hours later, they are almost completely gone... ***?

Peeling is usually uronema or brook. However, do you have any stinging coral in this tank?

Yes I have hammer and frogspawn, and they have been hosting in a large rbta

Clowns sometime pick up slime from the anemone. I would always observe it for a few hours before sounding the alarm. Only if it isn't gone within 24 hours and they start behaving sick (clamp fins, breathe heavy) I would be really worried.
