My clownfish has a lump on the side. Not sure what it is. It's been getting proper meals, good water quality and good parameters.

I got this clownfish 2 weeks ago and noticed the lump, I tried Google but no anwers. I'm just not sure what it could be or how to treat it, if needed. Screenshot_20240420_122929_WhatsApp.jpg

Welcome to Reef2Reef!

A single bump like that is typically NOT a major issue in terms of it being an infection from some parasite. It could be a bacterial abscess from some injury. The injury could be from a fish bite, or even a sea urchin spine.

In the pictures, the fish's eye seems a bit cloudy, does it look like that in person?

Thank you for your feedback+ appreciated it.
Will the lump go away on its own? Do I have to feed them anything special?

The eye in person I believe looks good, I provide some pics of I took today, she moves alot so I tried my best. I think in that photo my glass was dirty

Thank you for ur time!
