My clown fish has popeye and weird white bumps on his face. Here are some pics. Does anyone know what this might be? Maybe Lymphocyctis virus?

well the quick answer before i leave here is that lymph is pretty uncommon in clowns and usually is something on the fins or right on the edge of the mouth so I would rule that out. If hes still eating normally and acting alright i would just keep an eye on him. If not need more info to make a guess

He isn't eating. The main tank crashed to to pump failure about 4 weeks ago and he got moved to a new tank all by himself.

What other info. would you need?
 
hard to see exactly what it has but common to clownfish is brooklynella and with the tank move I would say there is a chance treat with acroflavin or formalin/malchite green. Rally by ruby reef is a good choice here or use an API version.
