Treating sick clowns

[rangoon]

Have two clowns with dense pod-like growths on their fins and gills. They are acting normal, high energy and eating fine.


Have a 10g QT set up, it it big enough for both of them. I simply don't have room for anything bigger in this apartment. Should I treat the reef, and relocate the corals to the 10g, or should I treat the fish in the 10g?



The growths are dense and not "cottony".

How long have you had them and gave you added anything new?

The clowns are new. Apparently all of my parameters are normal aside from spG which was 1.035. I have had them since last Friday.

I have moved the clowns to a qt and slowly acclimated them to 1.025. I have also begun dropping the reef tank down to 1.025.

These two clowns are the only fish I own.

How are they looking since being in the QT and the salinity lowered?

Some of the growths are disappearing/shrinking. Some new tiny black dots have formed (seen these come and go on these clowns before).

Good to hear about the growths. Can you post a pic of the little black dots? Do you have any corals that could sting?
