If this is what I'm thinking, I've seen it many times at the store. I cured it with a combo of meds all at onces. Kanaplex, furan 2 and metroplex. I left one of them without treatment and it died about a week later.... all the rest got treatment and it went away. They all went to new homes and I haven't heard of it returning.

I can see it, but it's not clear or close enough for me to determine if this is the same as I saw at the store. I've seen several cases of it on here as well. But it looks just like you describe.. like a pimple.

Let me show you another one been having the fish like that over a month the pimple looks clear no red signs is a tank bred hybrid clownfish I started to believe is a genetic mutation,

Could be a mutation. Could be nothing. Looks similar to what I have seen, but if he's had it a month, then probably not.

OK fish seems OK I already order the medications
If the pimple does not go away I will be forced to take the fish at a LFS trade I don't like the way it looks
