Clownfish Lymphocystis

[Justin G]

Hello, starting on February 20th my clownfish seemed to have a small pimple (pic1)

Pic 2 and pic3 are from today

someone mentioned to me that it looked like lymphocysts.. but not sure how to treat it.

can anyone help me figure out to help my fish?

if it is lympho, its not treatable. Its a virus that the fish will basically live with for the rest of its life. Just maintain good water and keep him fed, and he should still live a long and happy life :) @4FordFamily @Humblefish can ya'll confirm diagnosis?

Will it get any better? maybe disappear for a while, flare back up?

If that is what it is, you can read about it here.

If you feed well and keep water conditions pristine, it will become less visible.

That looks like something more than Lympho. Possibly a bacterial infection? https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/bacterial-infections.191511/

Can you quarantine him??
