White Cotton Bumps on Clowns

[Broog]

Okay, I have seen Ich, this does not appear to be ich, unless its very big. But I introduced two clowns a week and half ago and one has a white bump on his lip and Caudal fin, the other guy has one on his pelvic fin. They look like small cotton balls, I tried to look in the Disease FAQ and the link for white cotton patch keeps taking me to the search engine and saying its busy. I thought after some search that it may be lymphocystis but after seeing some pictures doesnt look like it. There breathing is completely normal, there color other than those spots are normal, they are eating normaly, no heavy breathing. Just trying to Id before anything bad gets out of hand, if it is bad?? All tank parameters are perfect. Sorry no digital camera at the moment for pictures. There tankmates currently are just Frogspawn coral, hermit crabs, pompom crab and a porcelain crab and a few snails.

Thanks in advance

Dave
