Tissue Loss

[Schwe]

I have two Ocellaris clowns in my 90 gallon tank along with a Potter's Angel, a Chromis, and a Diamond Goby.

Recently, ich reared its ugly head and yesterday I pulled all of the fish from the tank into QT. My beautiful, portly clowns were covered. I FW dipped them before placing in QT to provide some relief from the parasite.

I have been watching the fish like a hawk as I VERY slowly lower the salinity. I noticed that both clowns seem to have some tissue loss of some sort on their heads. What does this look like to you? Rubbing from the ich, something else? What should I do?

By comparison, a picture of the clowns in their usual glory

NOBODY has any suggestions?

I don't know what it is but my clownfish looked like that when i first got it. I just kept feeding and eventually it went away. Sorry I can't be of more help.

alright, thanks joeyg4583.

I agree. One of mine had the same problem a week or so after he was initiated in the tank. It went away though. I doubt its due to ich.

thanks guys... hopefully he'll heal up soon. The fish are finally settling in in QT.
