Hi all,

My clownfish seems to have some sort of bacterial infection or illness. Not the easiest to notice in photos, but it appears to be excess slime coat in sort of lumps. It is only on her right hand side, and this is the 2nd time it has cropped up. The first time I gave her a bath and directly applied Iodine, which got rid of it but stressed her a lot and not it has resurfaced approx. 4 months later. Same side last occurrence.

Poo is white but not stringy, and as I feed mainly pellets I thought this is normal ?

Any info. or advice would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Nick

It’s brooklynella which affects clowns commonly
You can give it a freshwater dip for temporary relief followed by formalin baths using API quick cure or ruby rally reef for 7-10 days
Also increase oxygen
 

When to mix up fish meal: When was the last time you tried a different brand of food for your reef?
