Problem with Maroon Gill

[helgir]

Hey guys, I noticed today that the left Gill of my Maroon is looking strange, He is still behaving fine and eating. Does anyone know what might be wrong?

How long have you had this fish?

It may be the pic, but this fish just doesn't look healthy at all. Very thin for a MC.

Got him 2 days ago from LFS I'm wondering if he has been getting beat up over there :/

I agree with Steve, above, that this fish does not look healthy. The picture is not crisp enough for additional analysis but I see more than just a gill issue.

Fish looks sickly. Clenched fins, skinny, spots I think I see in the pic... Go through this site well...

Thank you, I noticed his chipped fin at the LFS, He is doing better today, eating like a champ, hopefully he can pull through, He is alone in the tank right now so watching him and treating him is easy. I have a soft spot for "underdogs" after treating 2 Bettas to beastly health after getting them for free cause the LFS did not think they would pull through.

What food do maroon clowns go nuts for? I am currently feeding high protein pallets, flakes and dozing pods.

"Do not move the Maroon Clownfish with a net as its cheekspines will become entangled. Use a specimen container if capture is necessary."

Just read this on liveaquaria, And i surely watch the LFS employee use a net to scoop him out, is it possible it might have messed him up? and if so how do i help him?
