So I didn't really give it much thought at first as my two clownfish scrap from time to time, but I think my female clownfish has developed a parasitic infection as she's got lesions that won't go away on her body.
I tried to get as good pictures as I could.
She's been like this 2-3 weeks now, the lesions don't seem to have progressed much but they won't go away either.
She's gotten skinny despite being properly fed. She's got a good and healthy appetite and does not seem to be behaving in an abnormal fashion, though her swimming is a little wobbly with her pectoral fins being clamped. Can't tell if breathing is abnormally fast but it does not appeared to be labored in any way.
They have not been exposed to any new animals for 4-5 months, which is when they got moved to a new setup with new rock and inverts, but the tank in question had been fish-less for another 6 months prior to the clowns being introduced. The male clownfish does not seem to be affected.
Any ideas on what this is and how to treat?
