I think it’s Aiptasia - does garlic actually help ward off infection?Possibly an injury. Just keep an eye on it. If it gets worse, take better pics and see if it can be helped. At this stage, the main concern would be it getting infected. But like Idoc said, if it’s eating and breathing/swimming normally, I wouldn’t worry too much. Any fish, inverts and corals in the tank with it?
It is on the fin could be an aiptasia burn. Odd he seems to be doing ok. I’ll keep close watch.I’m going with minor injury or common lymphocystis. It looks like I see a tiny spot on the fin too. Hard to tell from pics.
A healthy clownfish has a mucous coating that protects them from the stings from anemones so I wouldn’t blame it on aiptaisa. Probably impossible to pinpoint how it happened after the fact. But keep an eye on it. I wouldn’t add garlic, that’s just kind of an anecdotal cure. Lots of pellets these days do include garlic in them however. My fish get injured from time to time. If healthy, they heal in a few days or so.I think it’s Aiptasia - does garlic actually help ward off infection?
Thanks yes - Didn’t know if that applied for Pests. I’ll take a look at some pellets anyhow.A healthy clownfish has a mucous coating that protects them from the stings from anemones so I wouldn’t blame it on aiptaisa.
