Clownfish acting strange!

[amberkate]

Hi! I’ve had my tank since early April, and in it I have a YWG/Pistol shrimp and a longfin clownfish. I had a fire fish that disappeared two weeks ago and haven’t found the remnants of yet. My clownfish is acting super strange and has these white bumps on her mouth. I am going to test my parameters right now. I have a mixed reef.

I think the fish medic guys are going to need a clearer video or pictures. Try turning your blue lights down and your white lights up for clarity. If possible, posting a video to YouTube first and then linking that back here is best because not all members can view videos directly uploaded to R2R. Good luck!

Is the clownfish still eating well?
How is it acting "off"? It does seem agitated in the video, but I can't see much else.

I can sort of see the spots you mentioned, but not clear enough to hazard a guess as to what it might be.

She is eating well. She rubs up against the glass and is moving around the tank a lot more than she used to, after I put a nano pump in the tank to improve circulation. She also has redness at the right side of her mouth.

Could the increased water flow be causing it some distress? Longfin clowns have more difficulty handling flow like that. Reducing flow, but adding an air stone might help.

I see possible strong current and I and Jay as well wont be able to see anything on the fish with strong blue lighting. Please repose video under bright white lighting, no blue

Here you go! Thanks for the prompt responses

The reason I put the second nano pump in there was to try and get rid of my Cyanobacteria
