Hello everyone, I have a tricky case that I can't figure out. My mother-in-laws foxface has what appears to be a swollen mouth. I'll upload a picture. There are no new inhabitants so we don't know how this happened but there are 3 anemones and we can't tell if he just bit one on accident or if he is sick. Thank you for your help.

Looks like an allergic reaction. Maybe it is an anemone sting. I don't think that there is much to do other than monitor.

Yeah we figured it might be that or that he bit a bristleworm, He's constantly putting crushed coral in his mouth so it's possible he nabbed one of them.

My foxface got stung by large BTA and was swollen in multiple places. Someone here rec PraziPro and few days later back to normal.
