Hello, I'm looking for some help with a clown fish I added to my tank one week ago. He had a small spot on his side when we got him, and over the past few days we have noticed it grow significantly. Two days ago, it had something coming out of the spot - it looked a little like it could have been sand, but I can't be sure. There is no longer something protruding from the spot but it is still there and looks like a visible hole in his side.
It is a new 65gallon tank with a 29 gallon sump. The pair of clowns are the only fish in the tank, along with some hermits and snails. We are currently treating the tank with Melafix. The fish is eating and swimming around the tank. If anyone has seen this before, or has any ideas on what it is or how to treat it, it would be appreciated!
I attached a couple of photos to show the progression.
