thedude Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Looks similar to black ich or marine velvet that delevops on tangs fairly easily... The main clown diseases are ich (not ich at least the common variety in this case), lymphocitis (large smooth white lesions... not this), or brooklynella which would be my only guess at this point. What have you been feeding him and what are you water conditions at? It almost looks like the anemone could have stung him as well. Are you feeding the anemone on a regular basis? Also, when was the clown introduced? John FYI: The reason I said Marine Velvet is the fish will often rub up against things and your clown doesn't show any real external parasites that I'm common with. This is a great read on marine velvet http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-07/...hl%3Den%26lr%3D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
