Clownfish in Distress!!

[PaulKreider]

So recently I used fluke tabs on my tank to kill off my Xenia, It worked a little too well, took out my cleaner and peppermint shrimp... As well as my gorgeous RBTA's :cry:

Since that happened my pair of clowns ( Black onyx misbar and a False Perc) have been acting very strange... My False perc who I'v had for over a year keeps swimming in the spot where the RBTA was, and my Black onyx who I'v had for only a few months has moved on to my Torch coral..

Heres the problem....
Ever since the seperation (Last weekend) my Black Onyx has developed a fuzzy white patch sticking to his side, right infront of his left Pectoral fin. I'm getting worried about what could have caused this.

Could It be from hosting a new coral?
A fungal/ Bacterial infection?
Heres a bad picture but it shows the white spot right infront of his fin.

Anyone have any Ideas?

I pulled him out of the water, and most of the puffy came off, its definatly an open wound from somthing. So I put melafix in the DT.... Bad Idea caused RTN on one of my cheap birdsnest... So doing a large 15g water change tonight, and pulling him out and putting him in QT to treat with melafix. Hes not acting funny I just dont want to loose a black onyx... or any fish for that matter.

Do a search on Lymphocystis.

Do a search on Lymphocystis.

That looks alot like it, praying it is and that it will cure itself... Still going to QT just incase.

If it is Lymphocystis, it should get better over time. As long as the fish has a healthy appetite and the water is kept super clean, things will improve for the fish. I had a similar situation with a Watanabei Angelfish, with good results. Best of luck!!!
