I've had this clown for about one week now, and these white spots started appearing. The clown behaves normal; happy in his anemone. Eating well, no labored breathing. No signs of ich. Is this lymphocystis? Or something else? What can I do for it? I'm not sure if this is a virus, bacteria, parasite, or fungus.

Looks like just a few loose scales -- could have been from fighting or hitting a rock, etc. Keep an eye on it, but it should heal up in a few days.

One of my chromis had that and died 2 days later... I have heard of a few other people who had this and the fish always seem to die in a couple of days, but it never spreads to other fish. Sorry that I can't tell you what it is though.
