How's he doing this morning? I know exactly what you mean about obsessive fish disorder. My daughter even gets in to it with me...lol She gets all worried when just one polyp doesn't open in her zoas, she has a 5 gal minibow in her room too. She's still pretty new to this and I've had to pull up posts before to show her it's just what they do sometimes.

Hi B..well as you read I have it pretty bad OFD (obsessive fish disorder) and on to Costello (Abbot & Costello)..he seems just fine and is acting the same! doing all normal clownfish activities...Thank god! My kids too are totally into the fish and my older one , 11 yrs help with the W/C and has named all of them! We used to have a FW betta that has passed and let me tell you, he was crushed =( My 4 year old just loves the fish and can't quite grip the fact that we cant "buy more" so he helps us pick corals....Do you think that my new zoa???????? could this be the culprit? until the stores open here today...I will have to keep an eye on him

Hey Dan, last night stykthyn uploaded a pic for me....Can you see the spot on the middle white stripe?

 

[dantodd]

yeah, I just uploaded the same pic, a little cropped.

Anyway, I hope some of the disease folks can help you out more now.

BTW: using a flash is going to give you much better pictures.

Update on my Clown...I spoke to Mark at Blue Zoo and he said it is probably a sting from one of my corals...what a relief!!! I thoght I was gonna go mad trying to figure this out! But we have dealt with Mark before and he assured me not to worry, that clowns are prone to getting stung by corals and he saw the picture I took and he could tell right away it was a sting....Thanks to everyone who helped me with this
